Instructions:

1. Preheat the BBQ:

Turn on your BBQ to medium-high heat to begin preheating.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

Season the chicken breasts and BBQ them over medium heat until they are tender and juicy.
Baste the chicken generously with barbecue sauce while grilling.
Once cooked, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.

3. Caramelize the Onions:

In a skillet, fry the yellow onions with a little butter until they are beautifully caramelized.

4. Assemble the Pizzas:

Start by spreading a layer of barbecue sauce on the pizza shells.
Next, add a layer of sliced tomatoes on top of the sauce.
Arrange the sliced chicken strips and caramelized onions over the tomatoes.
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese over the top of each pizza.

5. Grill the Pizzas:

Place the assembled pizzas on the BBQ rack over low heat.
Cook the pizzas until the crust is crispy, the toppings are heated through, and the feta cheese is soft and slightly melted.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Once cooked to perfection, remove the pizzas from the BBQ.
Slice and serve hot, savoring every delicious bite of your homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza.

Tips:

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in barbecue sauce for a few hours before grilling.
Don’t rush the caramelization process of the onions; low and slow is the key to achieving that sweet, savory flavor.
Feel free to customize your BBQ Chicken Pizza with additional toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for a personalized touch.
