BBQ Chicken Pizza
As you know, I’m a massive fan of any pizza recipe. While it’s not “authentic” by any means, BBQ chicken pizza is a classic fusion twist on pizza. My version is reminiscent of the CPK signature BBQ chicken pizza, with mozzarella, smoked gouda, red onion, cilantro, and, of course, saucy BBQ chicken.
