Barbecued Chicken Pizza with Zucchini and Onion
While pepperoni and cheese will always be the go to classic for pizza, this barbecued chicken pizza adds the taste of summer with thinly sliced zucchini and onions.
This recipe is so delicious and an easy main dish to make, courtesy of premade pizza dough, which you can find at more grocery markets these days.
Barbecued Chicken Pizza with Zucchini and Onion
Homemade Barbecued Chicken Pizza with Zucchini and Onion
Ingredients
- Olive oil for baking sheet
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- 1 ball store-bought frozen pizza dough thawed
- 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken (about 1 1/4 pounds cooked chicken)
- 1/2 cup store-bought barbecue sauce
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 small zucchini halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 small small onion halved and thinly sliced
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450-f degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet; set aside.
- On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin and your hands to roll and stretch dough to a 15-by-10-inch oval (if dough becomes too elastic to work with, let rest a few minutes). Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken and barbecue sauce. Leaving a 1-inch border, scatter chicken mixture evenly over dough; sprinkle with cheese, then zucchini and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Hi Ali,
Great recipe, it looks delicious. Great idea for using up some of the excess Zucchini that I have from my garden right now. Thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and I look forward to seeing you soon!
Looks so delicious!
Mmmmm…a wonderful savory dish. Zucchini is one of my most favorite pizza toppings!
Thank you for always bringing so much talent, creativity and deliciousness to "A Little Birdie Told Me…" Tuesday!

Great idea to add zucchini. Thanks for linking this to Fat Camp Friday, see you next time!
Yum! I love the zuchinni on top. BBQ chicken pizza is the only kind my oldest daughter likes. We make pizza periodically and from scratch. I found a dough that is quick and really yummy. I can have the pizza ready to go into the oven in about 30 minutes if I keep moving. I either buy sauce, but often like to make it homemade too…my mom always did and it's just stuck with me.

This pizza has a lot of fresh flavors – From the chicken and barbecue sauce, as well as from the zucchini and onions. This is a great alternative to heavier, greasy pizzas.
