We love BBQ Chicken Pizza and we often take shortcuts using store bought BBQ sauce. There are so many brands of BBQ Sauce and most of them are very tasty.
But you can never beat a delicious homemade BBQ sauce. You will love this tasty homemade BBQ Sauce using ingredients you may already have on hand.
Homemade bbq sauce is usually made from a blend of tomatoes, spices, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Then you simmer it all together to get a thick and rich sauce that is perfect for any bbq.

I love your blog! Although I’ve been following you sisters via pinterest for some time now, today I officially began to “follow” you ladies. I love using pitas for pizza crusts. It’s a quick and healthy alternative.
Love quick ideas for dinner or lunch! Definitely going to try this one : – )
One suggestion to make it even better if you have a toaster oven is to pop it in there instead of the microwave so that you get the crispy crust. Otherwise awesome recipe!
Love your recipes! How easy and sounds delicious!
We love this recipe (we also add pineapple- it is a GREAT mix up).
ALSO- if you like spicy- Try the pita bread [with the Tyson chicken, shredded cheese (i prefer pizza blend), and throw some Moore’s Wing Sauce as the base. SUPER GOOD- Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Super EASY & Super FAST! -Enjoy!
I’ve also used jarred Alfredo sauce instead of bbq- delicious.
I make pita bread pizza all the time. Try throwing it under the broiler, instead of the microwave. I think you’ll be pleased with the outcome.
We sprinkle rosemary on our bbq pita pizzas. Yum!
I just wish it was a bit more savory instead of sweet.
I made your chicken pizza for my family today and we all loved it.
