BBQ Chicken pizza is my favorite kind of pizza, hands down. There’s something about it that just makes me happy. Maybe it’s the memories of going to California Pizza Kitchen in Santa Barbara with my college roommate when I was just a freshman in college. I’m not sure, but whatever it is, it’s still with me.
This recipe for grain free BBQ chicken pizza is regularly requested in my house. Any time my kids have a birthday, or they just want some of mom’s famous pizza, this is the one they ask for!

Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1.5 cups tapioca flour (arrowroot starch may work here but I haven’t verified this yet)
- 2 tsp gluten-free cornstarch-free baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup water
- For the top:
- BBQ sauce of choice (I get mine at Costco but THIS one looks yummy!)
- 1/2 a red onion sliced thin
- 1 lb chicken breasts cooked and cut into pieces
- desired cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a baking sheet with olive oil. (Or use a baking stone like mine!)
- Sprinkle a bit of almond flour on the baking sheet (not needed if using baking stone).
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the olive oil and water.
- Get a little bit of oil on your hands, remove the dough from the bowl, and begin spreading the dough over the baking sheet, using your hands.
- Continue to spread it out evenly, using a bit of oil if needed to keep from sticking.
- Bake in oven for about 12-14 minutes, remove from oven, and top with desired sauce and toppings. Bake for another 8-10 minutes, until cheese is bubbling (if you’re using cheese) and toppings are crisping (I even broiled it for a few minutes to crisp up the cheese).
- Remove and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

How much BBQ sauce did you use? I’m making this right now, so I’ll just take a guess – I can always slap on a little more if I need to when it comes out of the oven.

I’m not really sure, I just spread it out as thick as I wanted. lol It was probably around a cup? Sorry!

What can you use in place of corn starch?
Shanti Landon says
Hi, Lisa! There isn’t any cornstarch in this recipe–do you mean baking powder?
