Pizza never gets old if you ask me! I do get tired of the same toppings, though and that is what inspired me to whip up this barbecue chicken pizza on naan bread!

Even though I am a food blogger, there are plenty of days I don’t feel like cooking! Thats when I reach for easy recipes like my Shrimp Tortellini Alfredo, Cheesy Taco Skillet, Homemade Hamburger Helper, and Baked Cheese Ravioli Casserole.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of chicken do I need?

You can use any leftover chicken you have or grab a rotisserie chicken from the store. I cooked chicken breast in a cast iron skillet with a little butter and olive oil. I sprinkled it with Meat Church Holy Gospel Rub, salt, and pepper. Cooked until it reaches 160 degrees (it will rise to 165 degrees as it rests), let rest for 5 minutes, and chop.

What toppings can I add to bbq chicken pizza?

Any toppings you like, really! Consider adding crispy bacon, jalapenos, pineapple, crumbled blue cheese, or anything else you like.

Can you reheat pizza in the air fryer?

Yep! Reheat leftover pizza at 375 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until hot. Serve and enjoy!
