• Make pizza dough (recipe below) or use 2 preformed medium 14 to 16-inch crusts.

Prep the Chicken and Bacon

• Heat oven to 450°F for at least 30 minutes or longer if using a pizza stone or steel. Heat grill to 400°F for the chicken.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (this can be done up to a day in advance). Cook chicken on grill over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through (160°F in the center); chop into bite-size pieces. TIP: Save time with pre-made grilled chicken breast.
• Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Cool and crumble into small pieces.

Roll the Dough

• Roll out pizza dough into desired shape and size. TIP: If using whole wheat crust, pre-bake pizza crust alone until set but not browned, about 5 minutes this will make the crust crispier when the pizza is baked. 
• Mix the tomato sauce with barbecue sauce (more of either can be added, to taste). Spread approximately 1/2 cup of sauce over pizza crust with the back of a spoon to thinly cover the crust, as desired.

Top and Bake (Single Medium Pizza)

• Sprinkle 3 cups of cheese, 1 cup of chicken, 1/4 cup of onion, half the crumbled bacon on top of the sauce.
• Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove pizza from the oven and top with fresh cilantro. Cut and serve.
