Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 8 ounces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle the cornmeal evenly on a pizza stone or baking sheet, then transfer the rolled dough onto it.
Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Distribute the sliced grilled chicken evenly over the sauce.
Scatter the sliced red onion evenly over the chicken.
Sprinkle the Mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses evenly over the pizza.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the fresh chopped cilantro over the top.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
