What you will need
Pizza Crust or Flatbread Mix – I personally love a plain unseasoned flatbread mix for this recipe! I use a grain free artesian bread mix by the brand Simple Mills. All you need for that mix is water, oil, and eggs/vegan egg substitute.
BBQ Sauce – I know there are so many barbeque sauces to choose from out there. There a range from sweet to smoky and it really depend on your flavor preference. I love using the Classic BBQ sauce by the brand The New Primal. It is whole30 and paleo approved and tastes amazing in this recipe!(Use my code “CSF15” for 15% off.)
Chicken – You can make some chicken a head of time or use premade chicken from your local grocery store. I make my chicken in my Instant Pot by adding 2 chicken breast cut into smaller chunks, 1 cup of water and some salt. Pressure cook it on high for 10 mins then let cool down for a few minutes and shred with a hand mixer.
Red Onion – I don’t recommend using nay other onion because the red onion adds the perfect sweet flavor which goes so well with the rest of the ingredients.
Bacon – Adding this ingredient definitely makes this pizza next level! You can use either pork or turkey bacon in this recipe.
Dairy Free Cheese – I recommend using Miyokos mozzarella which is made with clean ingredient like cashews and coconut oil. It really does taste like mozzarella! You can use regular cheese if you can tolerate dairy ok.
Cilantro – I like the flavor of cilantro and think it adds a nice herb touch to this pizza! If you are one of those who just can’t stand the taste of cilantro I get it. You can omit this ingredient if you’d like and the pizza will still be amazing!
