1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup corn (optional)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce until well coated.
Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce over the crust, then top with the BBQ chicken mixture, sliced red onion, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, drizzle with additional barbecue sauce, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and slice into wedges. Serve hot.
