Craving pizza but don’t want to make the dough? This Barbecue Chicken English Muffin Pizza makes things super easy! 20 minutes from start to table!
Are you going to invite your family and friends, and watch the game together? Is homegating your favorite part of game days?
I don’t know about you, but when we have that kind of party, I don’t like to stand in the kitchen and knead pizza dough. Our family and friends love pizza and everyone has their own favorites, so imagine me in the kitchen, kneading pizza dough, then top it with everyone’s specific favorite toppings, then wait for it to cook and oh my god, the game is already over!
And that’s when I make these English muffin pizzas that come together in 20 minutes! Literally, 20 minutes. And if you have leftover protein (rotisserie chicken, beef or whatever) it can be as short as 12 minutes even! Perfect for homegating, right? Plus, you can even ask people to top it with their own favorite toppings but trust me, the combination I’m about to show you is loved by everyone!
To make these pizzas, I used chicken with barbecue spice, and Mazzeta Roasted Bell Pepper, which gave a nice kick and texture. What I really like about Mazzeta is that it’s a family owned business, therefore I feel comfortable using their product knowing that it’s coming from another family to mine.
I also used some mushrooms, baby spinach and olives to match the flavors with Mazzetta roasted bell peppers. If you like to make this pizza vegetarian, just omit the chicken and you will end up with an awesome vegetarian pizza full of amazing flavors!
“Barbecue chicken English muffin pizza is delicious and quick!”
When I made these English Muffin Pizzas, they were gone in less than 15 minutes! Be sure you make at least 2 for each person because one would definitely not be enough.

This is a fabulous recipe and brings back soooooo many memories of English Muffin Pizza night at my house while growing up. Pizza buns are super easy to make, but ours were basic and not nearly as yummy as yours. I am excited to try your recipe, especially because I adore roasted bell peppers. Thanks!
