BBQ Chicken Pizza Bake



We tried this for the first time tonight.  It was okay, but I have to say, not my favorite.  Mostly because I'm not a big Bisquick fan.  The crust was kind of dry and much too thick, but I'm not sure how I could have made it thinner.  Other than that, a serving is 1/4 of a 9x9 pan, so  it's plenty filling and satisfying.

BBQ Chicken Pizza Bake
Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1 1/3 c Heart Smart Bisquick
1 egg
2/3 cup spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
12 oz chicken
1 c chopped red onion
1 c chopped bell pepper
1/2 c pineapple tidbits
1 c part skim mozzarella

Mix Bisquick, egg, and water 1 tbs at a time until dough reaches desired consistency.  Spread dough in 9 x 9 pan sprayed with nonstick spray.  Mix spaghetti sauce and 1/4 c bbq sauce, then spread onto dough.  Top with chicken and remaining bbq sauce, onions, peppers, pineapple and cheese.  Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees.  Serves 4
