Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 piece Boneless chicken breast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

On a clean surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil.

Step 3

Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breast. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Step 4

Scatter cornmeal on a pizza peel or the backside of a baking sheet. Lay the rolled-out dough over it.

Step 5

Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.

Step 6

Top with sliced chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and red onions evenly across the pizza.

Step 7

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top before slicing.

Step 9

Slice into 8 pieces and serve warm.
