When most people think of chicken pizza, they think of BBQ Chicken pizza. But that’s a polarizing dish; you either love it or you hate it, with no in between.
But you know what almost everybody who has tried it, loves it.
Chicken Tikki Masala Pizza is packed with all the protein and flavor of a BBQ Chicken recipe but eliminates the controversial sweet BBQ sauce in favor of something spicier and savorier – which generally work better on pizza that sugary sweet.
And while the BBQ chicken pizza from your local pizzeria might be nothing more than regular cheese pizza with a few slices of chicken thrown on top and a drizzle of BBQ sauce, we’ve found that the best chicken pizza recipes make ample use of healthy ingredients.
Best pizzas also use fresh vegetables like cilantro, red onions and mushrooms. Throwing some olives and peppers on there often work too.
