Iron Horse Farm barbecue pizza is perfect for quick family dinners or a family night in.
This homemade pizza is finger-licking good, and our barbecue sauce is just like the cherry on top. The best thing about it is that it is easy to make. My son is getting more involved in his school and that leaves little time to prep a full dinner. So, I throw this together when we are in a pinch and need something fun and satisfying.
You can use a homemade dough recipe – we like this Homemade Pizza Crust Recipe from Sally. Just follow the instructions for baking the crust before you top and bake the pizza. If you are in a real hurry, you can just use a frozen or pre-made crust, like the Pillsbury Pizza Dough. If using a frozen crust, don’t thaw the crust before you put it in the oven. Just top it and bake for the recommended time on the package.
Making the Barbecue Pizza
Combine the shredded chicken with 2 Tbsp barbecue sauce. I recommend using the Iron Horse Farm Original barbecue sauce for a really bold, smokey flavor. It pairs so nicely with the red onion. If you prefer a sweeter barbecue sauce with some spice, use the Rassie.
Top your pizza crust with remaining 1/3 cup sauce, leaving 3/4-in. border. Top with mozzarella, red onion and chicken. Bake on a pre-heated pizza stone or baking sheet at 425 for about 20-25 minutes. Top piping-hot pizza with cilantro, cut and serve.
This is a great end to a crazy day that won’t make you crazy!
Variations: You can really top this pizza any way you want. Sometimes we do barbecue Hawaiian pizza. Use ham and pineapple instead of chicken. Or, use pulled pork in place of chicken. Keep everything else the same and serve up a delicious meal for your family!
