Sound good? It is incredibly good. And simple, simple, simple.
Perfect for Friday nights, game nights… or when you need to use leftover rotisserie chicken.
To be honest, I’m always looking for an excuse for this pizza.
I mentioned it was tailor-made just for you. This is how it works. Much of the flavor comes from the BBQ sauce, so be sure it’s good and your favorite. I’m particularly fond of our homemade BBQ sauce and almost always have a jar in the fridge.
However, store-bought works too with your favorite BBQ sauce, whether spicy, mild, sweet, or tangy!
The other ingredients in this ever-so-easy pizza are shredded chicken, cheese, cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
I think every dinner should be as deliciously simple as this pizza.
