There’s no doubt that pizza is my ultimate weakness. I recently made this Barbecue Chicken Pizza in our camper while on our cross-country road trip… it was so simple, quick and delicious!
I was compensated by Tyson® Fresh Chicken for this blog post. All opinions shared are my own!
Tyson Fresh Chicken makes preparing chicken easy… I didn’t have to trim off any excess fat because each piece is hand-trimmed for convenience to save time and effort. Tyson Fresh Chicken is the next best thing to being fresh off the farm, because it arrives at your store fresh, delivered within days from leaving the farm!
We already had a bottle of barbecue sauce in the camper for grilling, so I thought of this simple pizza. I purchased a prepared pizza crust to make it even more “camper friendly”. What’s great about this recipe is that you can recycle leftover chicken into something spectacular the next night!
This is so simple! Spread your favorite barbecue sauce on a prepared pizza crust and top with chicken, red onions, cheese and pineapple (skip the pineapple if you’re not a fan – but I loved it!).
I also drizzled some barbecue sauce over my shredded chicken so that it wouldn’t dry out while baking. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. (Note: Chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees for boneless products and 180 degrees for bone in chicken products.)
Top it with some chopped fresh cilantro and you’ve got yourself one easy and delicious pizza. Enjoy!

My current favorite way to prepare chicken is to roast a whole chicken using a special pan with a center tower that’s filled with chicken stock and flavorings, and which holds the chicken vertically while it roasts. So good!
