In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with the salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 6-8 minutes, adding the remaining flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Cook the chicken breast in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, then chop it into small cubes.
Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C).
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Place the rolled dough on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the cooked chicken pieces evenly over the cheese.
Add the black olives, red bell pepper slices, and onion slices (if using) on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings, followed by the Italian seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
