Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the stems and leaves from the cauliflower. Grate it using a food processor or box grater until you have fine cauliflower crumbs.
Microwave the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl for about 8 minutes, or until soft. Allow to cool slightly.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible to ensure a crispy crust.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, 1 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until a dough forms.
Press the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer to form a crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust for about 15 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
While the crust is baking, shred the cooked chicken breast and mix it with the sugar-free barbecue sauce.
Remove the crust from the oven and brush with olive oil.
Spread the barbecue chicken evenly over the crust, then top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and red onion slices.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
