Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza dough or homemade dough
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup barbecue sauce, plus more for drizzling
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Olive oil for brushing
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a pizza stone, place it on the grill to heat up.
Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Brush one side with olive oil.

Grill the Dough: Place the oiled side of the dough on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip the dough over.
Add Toppings: Spread the BBQ chicken mixture over the grilled side of the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and red onion slices.
Finish Grilling: Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
