Follow these simple steps to create a BBQ Chicken Pizza that is sure to impress:

Preparing the Chicken

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3. Bake Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
4. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, allow the chicken to cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.
5. Mix with BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with ½ cup of BBQ sauce, ensuring it is well-coated.

Assembling the Pizza

1. Preheat Pizza Stone: If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
2. Prepare Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer to Baking Surface: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or a baking sheet.
4. Apply BBQ Sauce: Spread the remaining ½ cup of BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the shredded BBQ chicken over the sauce, followed by the sliced red onions.
6. Sprinkle Cheese: Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring even coverage.
7. Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
8. Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
