Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats.

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the plant-based chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the cooked plant-based chicken strips over the sauce.
Top the pizza with the sliced red onion and red bell pepper.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the vegetables and chicken.
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
