This BBQ Cilantro Chicken Pizza is hands down the best barbecue pizza out there. The sauce is incredible and the toppings send it over the top!
I love this chicken pizza, we used to order a pizza like this at a local place when we lived in California. When we moved we had to make our own version and it is every bit as good!
I like to use our pizza dough recipe (here)

This looks great! Could you cook it on a cookie tray?
Emily says
Yeah, I actually used to cook it on a cookie tray before I got a pizza pan.

Oooo, such big chunks of chicken! That looks awesome. I'm so used to chicken pizza recipes using shredded chicken that this is refreshing to know I'd be biting down into big meaty chunks, yum.

That looks really good. I love different pizza variations and I love cilantro. I just posted a chicken alfredo pizza. Its so fun to come up with new pizza recipes.

This sounds great & it reminded me of one of my Pizza Recipes & I wanted to share it with you. BBQ Steak & Cajun Chicken Pizza w/Stuffed Cheese Crust or not- whatever you feel up to. I had this at a place in Norton, MA. & they do not make it anymore-so I make it myself now. It was just too good to let go & it’s easy enough to make. Just buy Flat Steak ( for breakfast) & cut it up yourself into strips or square chunks & it’s a lot more inexpensive than other cuts of beef steaks. Use Chicken Breasts or Strips cut into chunks. Pick your own BBQ Sauce-I use Honey & Cajun Sauce in a bottle. Mix the meats with the sauce in separate bowls, & top the pizza crust- I use Plain Cheese Freshetta or that other self rising brand. Or make my own crust-& stuff it. Hope you try it once & enjoy it. Great for Football Fans too!

That sounds so good, I will have to try it!
