A delightful twist on a classic pizza, combining the smoky flavors of barbecue sauce with tender chicken, crispy bacon, and fresh herbs.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve an evenly cooked pizza crust.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and crumble.
Save a small amount of bacon grease for added flavor in the next step.
In the same skillet, sauté the red onion and shredded chicken in the reserved bacon grease until the onion is tender.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning and to evenly coat the chicken.
Mix the barbecue sauce into the chicken and onion mixture, then remove from heat.
Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your taste preference.
Roll out the pizza dough onto a greased baking sheet.
Use a rolling pin or your hands to evenly spread the dough.
Spread a layer of barbecue sauce over the pizza dough, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Leave a small border around the edges for a crust.
Top with the chicken mixture, crumbled bacon, and fresh cilantro.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even cooking.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
Garnish with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
