How To Make BBQ Chicken Pizza (On Garlic Bread!)

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade BBQ sauce can reduce sugar and preservatives.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

cooked chicken

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Grilled chicken is leaner, while canned is budget-friendly.

red onion

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: white onion

Green onions add freshness, while white onions are more economical.

Start with 1/4 cup of olive oil in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic paste and seasoning (AP seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, Lemon Bay, chicken bouillon powder) to the bowl and mix well.

Coat thinly sliced chicken breast in the marinade and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Melt 1 stick of butter and mix with 1/4 cup diced parsley and garlic paste for the garlic butter.

Dice 1/2 of a red onion and set aside for topping.

Cook bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Cut a loaf of French bread in half using a serrated knife.

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on the cut sides of the French bread.

Bake the garlic bread in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes until it starts to toast but isn't fully cooked.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Heat 1.5 cups of BBQ sauce until warm.

Assemble the pizza by spreading the warmed BBQ sauce on the toasted garlic bread, then top with chopped chicken, diced red onion, chopped bacon, and grated mozzarella cheese.

Bake the assembled pizza in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
