If your a BBQ lover then your going to love this pizza. Loaded with BBQ chicken, onions, and ranch this pizza is sure to satisfy the BBQ lover in you. I could have added bacon and called it a BBQ Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza but I’m still not quite on board with the whole bacon thing, so I decided not to add it. If your a bacon lover, then by all means, go ahead and add some bacon! I’m sure it’s going to taste great as well. That’s what I love about pizza, you can omit or add just about anything you want to suit your taste!
I added onions to the chicken because I love it how the onions and chicken caramelize with the barbeque sauce; but then again, the onions are optional. For the base I used a mixture of ranch and barbeque sauce instead of marinara and topped that with the chicken and onions.
Ingredients
- 1 batch of your fave pizza crust
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese

- 1/4 cup ranch dressing

- If making the pizza in a pan grease pan with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal or flour. Spread pizza dough into a large circle about 12 inch in diameter. Spread the BBQ/Ranch mixture on the pizza. Add the chicken and onion mixture. Sprinkle the toppings with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

THis was not our favorite. Too much BBQ and not enough ranch dressing.

BBQ chicken is my favorite pizza! I barely eat meat on pizza because of the limited non-pork related options and BBQ chicken is one of the few favorites!! This looks so amazing. I will have to try it at home 🙂
I also don’t eat pork and always seem to find a way to make it work! You should really try this Zainab. I’m sure your going to love it!
Ohhhhh Layla, this is brilliant! Love the flavor combination! Sounds absolutely delicious!
