Whether you'd rather skip going out or don't live close to the famous pizza spot, recreate the well-loved pie with this copycat recipe for California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ chicken pizza. If you can't get enough of the flavor combo of saucy BBQ, tender chicken and creamy ranch, then you'll go crazy for this homemade version. Our twist? We bake the pizza in an oven-safe skillet, resulting in an extra-crispy crust. It might seem a bit extra, but trust us—it's worth it. We used refrigerated pizza dough for ease in this recipe, but if you'd prefer, our homemade pizza dough is easy to create, and completely delicious.
Use this recipe for a special date night in (pizza party anyone?), or a weeknight dinner to jazz up your week. Either way, enjoy the classic dish right from the comfort of your own home. 😎 Cast Iron Round Casserole
