Ingredients

Scale

2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for a crispy crust.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper; grill or bake until cooked through (20-25 minutes). Shred the chicken using two forks.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the remaining BBQ sauce over the dough. Top with the chicken mixture, mozzarella cheese, and sliced red onions.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
