BBQ Chicken Cast Iron Skillet Pizza

September 8, 2018 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Cast Iron Skillet Pizza will officially be your favorite homemade pie. Similar to a pan pizza recipe, using a screaming hot skillet will create the ultimate crispy-chewy crust that’s to die for. You’ll love this revamp of a BBQ Chicken classic, I swear.

Cast Iron Skillet Pizza

My husband and I have been working on seasoning our cast iron skillet over the past month. It’s been a work-in-progress, but I feel that we’ve finally achieved the perfectly seasoned pan. To be honest, we’ve been a little intimidated by cast iron in the past… but it’s now our favorite cooking vessel!

Cast Iron Skillet Pizza

This cast iron skillet pizza is one of the easiest takeout meals I’ve ever made at home.

Believe me, I’ve certainly made my share of homemade pizza over the years. However, the thick crust in this version is officially my favorite. To make things easy, I used pre-made dough from our local grocery store. If you’re up for it, feel free to substitute with your favorite pizza crust recipe here.  Or you can ask a local pizzeria if they offer their dough for purchase.

Added Bonus: This pizza is the ideal portion for two adults when served with a side salad.
