Ingredients: 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced; 1 small green pepper, julienned; 1 small sweet red pepper, julienned; 2 tablespoons canola oil; 1 package (6-1/2 ounces) pizza crust mix; 1 cup barbecue sauce; 2 cups shredded cooked chicken; 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

A boxed crust mix and cooked chicken make this flavorful pizza a cinch to prepare. "It bakes up fast and is a wonderful way to please pizza lovers," says Autumn Ruhl of Montgomery, Michigan. TIP: "We like a dark molasses-based barbecue sauce and sometimes use refrigerated dough instead of the boxed mix," Autumn adds.
