Barbecue Chicken Pizza

"This is my favorite type of pizza, and the boys (big and little alike) love it. How I wish there was a Trader Joe's where I could get quick and good pizza dough. Sigh. This was originally a calzone recipe from Allrecipes.com, but I have modified it accordingly."

  1. I would like to apply for the position of making this recipe. As the maker and owner of many exquisite pizza recipes myself, I feel sure that I am qualified for this position. I have MANY references that I can provide. Have I talked you into it?
     
  2. Yum, this is a great variation! Shredding the chicken is a great idea - it really covered the whole pizza that way, versus chopping it. Thanks for sharing! Best of 2012 Tag
     
  3. Great pizza!! It was so easy to make and had tons of flavor. I left out the cilantro (do NOT like it) and was not paying attention to the recipe when I topped the pizza and put the chicken mixture on first and then the cheese. Had a little bit of leftover chicken mixture so will make a personal pizza or sandwich with it. Going into my Best of Cookbook. Made for 2012 Spring PAC.
     
  4. I used leftover chicken and a pre-made pizza crust for this and it turned out great. Nice flavor (though I must admit, there may have been a bit more than a cup of cheese on mine haha!) :)
     
  5. A huge hit in our house!! Will definitely be making this again--it was super easy, a nice departure from the types of food I'm used to making, and it was definitely yummy! No contest, one of the best recipes I've tried from this website. Thanks, Lawmama!!
