Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that crispy crust we all love.

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into your desired thickness. Aim for a round shape, but a rustic look adds charm, too!

Tip: If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature before rolling it out for easier handling.

In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce and garlic powder. This simple blend will infuse the chicken and crust with great flavor.

Spread a thin layer of the BBQ sauce mix over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Add the shredded chicken evenly across the pizza, followed by red onion slices.

Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken and onions, ensuring an even distribution for a perfect melt.

Transfer your pizza to the preheated oven using a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Tip: Keep an eye on the pizza in the final few minutes of baking to avoid over-browning.

Once baked, take your pizza out of the oven and drizzle a bit more barbecue sauce on top. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
