There’s something magical about cooking outdoors – the laughter, the fresh air, and that smoky BBQ aroma that brings everyone together. This recipe became a family favorite on a camping trip when my grandson helped me grill for the first time. Now it’s our little tradition! Try it for your next gathering and make memories over a slice of this sweet and savory pizza.
1 flatbread (Stonefire or naan works great)
2–3 chicken tenders (or chicken breast)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp each: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt
½–1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
¼ cup BBQ sauce (or to taste)
¼–½ cup diced fresh pineapple
¼ cup diced red onions
Heat your grill or Blackstone griddle. Mix brown sugar and spices in a bowl, then rub onto both sides of the chicken.
Grill chicken for about 4 minutes per side, until it reaches 165°F. Use a digital thermometer for safety.
While grilling, dice the pineapple and red onions. If space allows, grill them too for extra flavor!
Toast your flatbread on the griddle – just a few minutes on each side.
Spread BBQ sauce on the toasted flatbread, layer with cheese, chicken slices, grilled pineapple, and red onion.
Let cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve warm.
✅ Prep Ahead – Marinate the chicken in the spice rub a few hours early for even more flavor.
✅ Use a Meat Thermometer – It’s the easiest way to make sure your chicken is safely cooked and stays juicy.
✅ Get That Crisp – Toast the flatbread just enough to give it a little crunch before adding toppings.
✅ Customize It – Add jalapeños for a spicy kick or drizzle ranch over the top for extra creaminess.
✅ No Grill? No Problem! – You can use a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 400°F.
✅ Make It a Party – Set up a flatbread pizza bar where everyone builds their own – fun for all ages!
