BBQ Chicken Cauliflower Crust Pizza
I’m kind of nuts about cauliflower. I eat a lot of it, and one of my favorite ways is in pizza form. Almost two years ago I posted this Cauliflower Pizza Crust recipe, and it’s still the only one I use.
My favorite way to make cauliflower crust pizza is BBQ chicken style. However, every time I make it I forget to take photos or I’m so hungry I figure I’ll blog it later.
The time has finally come!
I planned ahead, started the recipe earlier and had my camera ready to go (my husband is used to the fact that he can’t touch the food until I get a decent photo or two. What can I say? That’s life with a blogger.).
This time I preheated my oven to 425, and tried that. It actually worked really well, but the edges burnt a bit. I didn’t mind, it made the pizza look a little more “rustic”.
After I put the Paleo BBQ Sauce and toppings on; I turned to oven down to 400 and baked until the cheese melted and the pizza looked fabulous.
Yeah, it turned out awesome. Don’t you just love it when a recipe turns out perfect?
On the original post for the Cauliflower crust pizza recipe, I had a lot of people tell me they couldn’t pick up the pizza or that it crumbled. Here’s some troubleshooting for you:
- Make sure it’s not too thick. 1/4 inch is usually how thick I spread it.
- When you “rice” the cauliflower take a bunch of paper towels and squeeze the excess moisture out. You want it as dry as possible.
- Everyone’s ovens are a little different, cook it until it’s done for you. Just because I say 30 minutes, maybe it takes you 35 or 40. Just make sure it doesn’t burn!
- It won’t be a sturdy as regular pizza, but you should be able to pick it up. Worst case scenario: you eat it with a fork! It still tastes good.
Cauliflower Crust Pizza:
BBQ Chicken Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Ingredients
- Cauliflower Pizza Crust recipe found here
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce like this homemade recipe
- 1 chicken breast cooked
- 1 cup part skim mozzarella
- 1/2 purple onion
- Parsley for garnish.
Instructions
- Make pizza crust according to instructions, however this time I upped the oven to 425 (which resulted in a little burning on the edges but not bad) - I still baked for 30 minutes. If it's still too soft, bake longer.
- Top pizza crust with BBQ sauce, then add chicken, purple onion or whatever other ingredients you want. Finish with cheese and parsley.
- Bake for until cheese is melted and it looks delicious (this will take 10ish minutes).
- Let cool 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Looks really tasty, I think I will try this even though we are not big on cauliflower! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
This is kind of AMAZING!!?!? I am pretty new to the cauliflower world, and am a little nervous about it (not the greatest in the kitchen) – but it works so perfectly well for the life I want to lead – more healthy and substantial. This pizza is all of that for sure. Wish me luck when I try this out. Your photos are gorg!
