BBQ Chicken Pizza

So I was NOT thinking clearly about the new dairy allergy when I wrote up my meal plan for the week and included pizza!

Hello, CHEESE!

So this pizza is cheeseless!

I thought it was fine without the cheese, as the BBQ and red onions gave it a rich flavor.

…still, there’s just something odd about a cheese-less pizza! lol

Of course, you could add a little shredded mozzarella, cheddar or combo of both to this pizza. 

 

Let’s get to the recipe!
