Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe

This is now one of my Friday night favorites, instead of ordering pizza or wings from Papa John's. It's cheaper and it tastes better than theirs anyway. It's surprisingly easy to make. I took the best of two recipes, combined them, and simplified the ingredients. I think this is the best way to make this pizza. One day I'll add pineapples and call it Hawaiian.

Ingredients:
-1 12-inch pre-baked pizza crust (I use Boboli from Von's)
-1 cup of hickory barbecue sauce (I use the cheap Safeway hickory barbecue sauce from Von's)
-2 skinless chicken breast halves, cubed (use as much chicken as you want)
-1 cup of chopped red onion
-1 chopped green or red bell pepper
-1/3 cup of brown sugar
-1 tbsp. of honey
-shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese as desired

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to whatever your pizza crust package says (probably 450). While preheating the oven, mix the barbecue sauce, the brown sugar, the honey, and the chicken in a pan and cook the chicken until it's done.

2. Spread the cooked chicken and barbecue sauce concoction over the pizza crust. Top with the red onion, bell pepper, and shredded cheese. Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted, or however long the pizza crust package says. As usual, cook on the rack for a crisper crust. Cook on a pizza pan for a softer crust.
