Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Pizza is a quick and easy meal. The pizza gets crispy and golden brown in the air fryer. The bbq sauce, cheese, and chicken combine to make a flavorful and delicious pizza.
I love making this air fryer bbq chicken pizza. It gets so crispy and delicious, and is super-flavorful.
It's quick to make. It cooks up in 4-5 minutes which means I can enjoy it any day of the week for an easy lunch or quick dinner.
The pizza gets crispy and the crust gets golden brown. The mozzarella cheese gets gooey and cheesy. The bbq sauce adds that hint of smokiness. And topped with cilantro for that touch of freshness.
The air fryer bbq chicken pizza is such a favorite and is kid-friendly. (Although my kids request that the onions be left off of theirs).
Ingredients:
- Flatbread - Flatbread takes many forms! Cooked tortillas, naan, etc. I used a flatbread I picked up at Target similar to a tortilla.
- Shredded chicken breast - Precooked chicken breast. Rotisserie chicken works great.
- BBQ sauce - Use your favorite bbq sauce.
- Mozzarella cheese - I love topping with shredded mozzarella, but cheddar or monterey jack are great options.
- Red onion
- Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Could you make this with pizza dough?
Yes! You can use homemade pizza dough or store-bought. You would want to make sure the pizza dough was fully cooked before adding toppings and finishing the pizza in the air fryer.
How to customize:
The air fryer bbq chicken pizza is so easy to customize. Use whatever bbq sauce or shredded cheese you like.
You can also add any spices or dried herbs. If you want more pizza flavor vibes, you can add some dried oregano. For spice, add some red pepper flakes.
Um, and if you're one of those people who likes pineapple on pizza, cut up some pineapple chunks and put them on top!
Serving suggestions:
I love slicing this up and eating as is! If you're a lover of ranch dressing, you may want to serve that as a dipping sauce or drizzled over the top of your air fryer pizza.
The air fryer pizza is delicious with an easy arugula salad or Tuscan kale salad.
Recipe tips:
- All air fryers cook differently. Check frequently to see if your pizza is done!
- This recipes is easily customizable. Love more sauce? Include more sauce? Hate onions? Leave them off.
- If using pizza dough, it should be fully cooked before adding to air fryer.
- Chicken should also be fully cooked before adding to the pizza.
