Recipe Introduction
"Barbecue chicken pizza is an all-time favorite, and making it fresh at home is far superior to the frozen or delivery varieties. The combination of store-bought dough, a rotisserie chicken, and a very hot oven gets this satisfying dinner to the table quickly. Barbecue sauce adds the requisite tang, and a shredded Mexican cheese blend provides just the right flavor combination for pairing with the bite of the sauce and red onion. A drizzle of a cilantro-lime sour cream sauce before serving adds just the right richness."
