Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Pizza

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to about ¼ inch thickness and transfer it to a greased pizza pan. Brush edges with olive oil.
Shred the cooked chicken breast and mix with BBQ sauce in a bowl until coated.
Spread a layer of BBQ sauce over the dough, then sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over it.
Distribute the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the cheese, then add sliced red onions. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.

For best results, preheat the oven fully and avoid over-saucing to maintain crust crispiness. Leftovers can be reheated at 350°F for optimal taste.
