BBQ Chicken Pizzas

BBQ Chicken Pizzas

It is getting to be that time of year when everyone starts to think about BBQ recipes. But have you thought about BBQ chicken pizzas? They are so yummy and super easy to make. Such a wonderful spin on your normal BBQ chicken.

For the crust on these BBQ chicken pizzas, we used pita bread. Different, right? It really turns this pizza to a light diet friendly type pizza.

You will be making these in the oven (or toaster oven) so you will need a cookie sheet to place your pizzas on while they bake.
