Barbeque Chicken Pizza

Pizza baked at home is a favourite with kids.. But once in a while we do have pizza from pizza outlets . And recently the elder kid has taken a fancy for BBQ flavoured pizza.. So this time I decided to go for that flavour while baking pizza at home.

The Pizza base is made using all purpose and whole wheat flour. No kids did not notice any difference in the base as compared to that made of all purpose flour only. So  yes, this healthier version  is going to be my recipe for pizza base henceforth.

The barbeque chicken topping preparation is really easy. Marinate the chicken pieces in bbq sauce, salt n pepper for half an hour and grill them . Then top the pizza base with some more bbq sauce, chicken pieces, some onion or capsicum as you prefer.
