Tyson BBQ Chicken Pizza with Homemade BBQ Sauce

My kids LOVE pizza! What kid doesn't? Homemade Pizza is even better. We have been enjoying making homemade pizza's for some time now. We are always coming up with new creations and today's post is our latest. My twin daughters love Shaved Asparagus Pizza, we make it quite often, and BBQ'ing Pizza is another one of our latest craves. But my 12 year old son, is Cheese-Only! When I was asked to do a review for Food Buzz with Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken, I was thrilled to create a brand new pizza recipe.

We often use ready made pizza crust, just as we did this time. One of my daughters is gluten-free (not by choice) and I buy her gluten-free crust, and then regular crust for the rest of the family. This recipe is so simple and the taste was out-of-this world. I have to be honest I have never purchased the Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken, but I was so impressed with the taste. I've made 3 more items with this chicken since and it will be a permanent staple in our house from now on (just bought my second bag this week).

We wanted to set out to create a BBQ Sauce Style Pizza and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. Even as we were creating this pizza my daughters were wondering if this was really going to taste like the BBQ pizza's they order from most restaurants, and it did! We were all so happy with the results. THANK YOU Tyson Chicken & the Food Buzz Tastemaker program for showing us this new product.

We started with an ole' family recipe of Homemade BBQ sauce to dip all the chicken strips in before making the actual pizza's. First we covered the pizza crust in olive oil and garlic, topped it with homemade Pizza Sauce, cheese and the Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Strips covered in the Homemade BBQ Sauce. The BBQ Sauce Pizza was absolutely delicious. A new family-favorite.
