Easy BBQ chicken roll-ups with BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, mozzarella, and sliced red onions all baked in rolled-up pizza dough. They’re simply delicious!

BBQ chicken roll-ups are simple and easy to put together for parties, gatherings, and holiday appetizers. My spouse was even taking them into work the next day to munch on.

To gauge how big they are: they’re not single bites, more like 3 bites!

Keep in mind, with each addition, you want to be minimal and cut the onions into thin strips. Otherwise, you will have difficulties rolling the pizza dough and have filling fall out.

I also made these pepperoni and cheese pizza roll-ups that my family loved! The kids also enjoyed making them with me.

Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza Roll-Ups

I don’t recommend adding more sauce to the roll-ups. When I did, they were falling apart and not keeping their circular shape.

Ingredients for BBQ Chicken Roll-Ups

• Pillsbury Refrigerated Canned Pizza Crust, or similar
• Shredded Chicken, (or canned chicken)
• BBQ Sauce
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Red Onion
• Pam Cooking Spray or Parchment Paper

How to Make Perfect Shredded Chicken

Making shredded rotisserie-style chicken at home is so easy! If you don’t have leftover BBQ pulled chicken like this crockpot BBQ chicken, you can try Instant Pot Shredded Chicken to get perfectly tender chicken without having to watch it while it cooks!

If you do not have leftover BBQ chicken or an Instant Pot to whip up some shredded chicken, this is the easiest and fastest way: boiling chicken. This is the method I used to get mine!

This is the pizza dough I baked with. It comes with 1 pizza dough per can.

Once you have your ingredients placed, roll them up, and place them on a greased baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper.

Top with more mozzarella cheese and pop it in the oven for 15-16 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Easy BBQ chicken roll-ups with BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, mozzarella, and sliced red onions all baked in rolled-up pizza dough. They’re simply delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 Refrigerated Canned Pizza Crust (Like Pillsbury’s, see above)

• Shredded Chicken (or canned chicken)

• 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce

• 1 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella, plus more for topping

• Pam Cooking Spray or Parchment Paper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with Pam nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Roll out pizza dough and spread an even layer of BBQ sauce. Add shredded chicken, sliced onions, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the BBQ sauce. Carefully roll the dough up, starting with the long edge. Begin cutting the rolled dough into 2″ thick pieces.
  Note: I began cutting in half in the middle, and then in half again, and so on to get even pieces.
• Place each roll up flat on the prepared baking sheet. Top each one with extra mozzarella cheese. Bake in the oven for about 15-16 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and cooked through the center.

Notes & Tips

• I don’t recommend adding more sauce to the roll-ups. They fall apart and do not hold their circular shape.
