Full discloser: a friend offered the Head Country Sugar Free sauce used to make this BBQ Chicken pizza. I’m not compensated for this post, but I wanted to try this new product. The thoughts and opinions I share are my own.

I’ve finally decided what to call my cooking style. The Hostess with the McMostess is casual, thoughtful, resourceful. As I meal plan each week, which I love to do, I’m mainly considering 4 things:

Weight watcher friendly – low points, veggie substitutions, lean proteins
Using up things in my pantry and freezer-shopping my own house makes me get creative but hopefully saves us a little money
Avoid the handful of things Mr McKinney doesn’t like or adjust accordingly
Actually test and try those recipes you Pin, save to collections and tear out of magazines.

That’s the basic criteria I use each week. As Little Man eats more and more table food, we just keep his staples around and let him try anything we are eating.

This Weight Watcher friendly pizza is made with 2-ingredient dough, Sugar Free BBQ sauce, Fat Free Mozarella and the rest fresh veggies and spices. The sauce is smokey, sweet and just the right kind of balance for homemade pizza night at home #twoingredientdough #2ingredientdough #wwpizza #bbqpizza #pizzaathome #homemadepizza

I recently had a friend, who works for Head Country BBQ offer me a bottle of their new Sugar-Free sauce. I’ve tried their regular sauce before and like it. It’s kinda smokey but not spicy and tangy but a little sweet. It’s a really smooth blend. But as we are doing weight watchers, I’m slowly replacing condiments and pantry staples with their more WW counterpart. So I was pumped to have a new SF product to try.

It’s terrible but when I see BBQ sauce, the first thing I think of is BBQ chicken pizza. It’s the default pizza option Mr McKinney and I can always agree on when we share pizza. And frankly, I’ve kinda perfected the prep method and blend of flavors.

We finally had a Friday night at home and it seemed like a perfect pizza night. So I threw chicken in the crockpot with the BBQ sauce and let it cook all day. Then I just threw together this pizza on Mr. McKinney’s way home and we finished off the night with a Redbox and cookies on the couch. Everything in moderation, right??

BBQ Chicken Pizza

This BBQ Chicken Pizza is a treat for any night, but especially those family night pizza dinners. The sauce we used is slightly smokey, and a little spicy, but combined with caramelized onions, cilantro, and mozzarella cheese, its a hearty meal that won't have any leftovers.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Italian

Keyword: barbeque, bbq, brisket, chicken, cilantro, pizza, weight watchers

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts frozen
1 1/3 Cup BBQ Sauce divided
1 Tablespoon steak seasoning (Kickin Chicken or Tony C;'s can work too)
1/2 sweet onion thinly sliced
olive oil
1 small can tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons cilantro (fresh) chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 Cups Fat Free Mozarella
1/4 Cup greated parmesean cheese or Fat Free feta cheese

For Crust:

2 Cups Self-rising Flour
2 Cups greek yogurt
2 teaspoons steak seasoning

Instructions

Place a liner in the crockpot.
Place frozen chicken in bottom of crockpot.
Sprinkle with steak season and add 1 cup BBQ sauce.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When it’s time to cook pizza, preheat oven to 350.
Prepare crust by mixing self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and steak seasoning in a bowl.
Stir until completely combined and presses together.
Flatten out on baking stone as one big pizza or split and make 2 pizzas.
Press crust out less than ½-inch thick. It will puff when baked.
Bake pizza crust for 18 minutes at 350.
Meanwhile thinly slice onion on a mandolin or finely chop and carmelize or cook down in a skillet with olive oil.
While the onions are cooking, remove chicken from crockpot and chop or shred.
Place chicken in the bowl and add 2 Tablespoons of liquid from the crockpot and 1 Tablespoon of BBQ sauce.
Stir together until chicken is coated.
Set aside and check on onions, stirring until cooked and translucent.
In a new bowl, stir together pizza sauce: tomato sauce, ⅓ Cup BBQ sauce, 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro, minced garlic and season to taste.
Remove crust from oven and top with sauce, spreading evenly across crust to edges. Only use as much sauce as you personally desire on top of the crust. You can serve extra as a dipping sauce.
Top with chicken, onions, and cilantro.
Cover with cheeses.
Place in oven and cook for 10-15 more minutes until cheese is fully melted as desired.
Cut pizza and serve immediately. (We cut this into 12 slices on one big pizza)

Notes

at 12 slices of the pizza, each pieces is Weight Watcher Freestyle Points = 3

Some time you see me, you should ask the story about our second date when we went to a pizza place and I freaked out trying to order pizza. Hence the reason we default to BBQ pizza. What are your favorite things to go on pizza?
