Recipe: BBQ Chicken Pizza

This recipe is very easy, just like the Thai Chicken Pizza. 

For this particular recipe, I used a whole wheat pizza crust, a cheese blend (mozzarella, cheddar and jack) and leftovers from a roast chicken I made earlier in the week.  It was actually the first time I ever roasted a chicken and I am proud to say that it turned out really well.  But that's a blog post for another day...

I only needed about 1/3 of this onion.  It was big.

Before going in the oven.
