American · Main course · 25 min total

A smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet chicken topping perfect for homemade pizzas. This recipe uses shredded chicken coated in a rich barbecue sauce with a hint of spice.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 2 small breasts)
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (preferably smoky)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Add the shredded chicken to the bowl and toss until well coated.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and caramelizes slightly.
4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using as a pizza topping.

Tips

• For extra flavor, use leftover rotisserie chicken.
• This topping can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• If using on pizza, spread a thin layer of sauce on the dough, then top with the chicken and cheese.
