Cranberry Chipotle BBQ Chicken Pizza #SundaySupper

Cranberry Chipotle BBQ Chicken Pizza: Leftover cranberry sauce is transformed into the perfect sweet and spicy base for a BBQ chicken (or turkey) pizza.

Pizza is a Friday night tradition in our house. We aren’t talking delivery, we are talking creative homemade pizzas. We love Taco Pizza, Cubano Pizza, Florentine Pizza, and Buffalo Chicken Pizza, just to name a few.

To me pizza is a fabulous way to repurpose leftovers. You can take a little bit of leftovers and transform them into a filling and fun dinner for your family.

And with Thanksgiving being on a Thursday and pizza night being on a Friday, a leftover Thanksgiving pizza just makes sense.

And my spin on a BBQ Chicken Pizza, is the ULTIMATE way to recreate leftovers!

Cranberry Chipotle BBQ Chicken (or Turkey) Pizza

I start by mixing my favorite barbecue sauce and a chipotle pepper with my leftover cranberry sauce for a spicy and tangy, yet slightly sweet base for your pizza. 

Then I take leftover chicken (or turkey after Thanksgiving) and layer it on the sauce and then smoother in sharp cheddar cheese. 

Once baked, leftovers have been transformed into a cheesy, delicious pizza.
