Ingredients

Pizza Dough and Sauce

1 lb store-bought or homemade pizza dough Choose your preferred type of dough.
1/2 cup pizza sauce or BBQ sauce Use BBQ sauce for a twist.

Main Toppings

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese For a gooey texture.
1 cup cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded Use pre-cooked or leftover chicken.
1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned and drained) Make sure canned pineapple is patted dry.
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced Adds an aromatic flavor.
1/4 cup bacon bits Optional for extra saltiness.
to taste fresh cilantro for garnish Add right before serving.
for dusting cornmeal Prevent sticking.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
Lightly dust a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it reaches a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the rolled dough to your prepared baking sheet or peel.

Layering the Toppings

Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, pineapple chunks, and sliced red onions across the pizza.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and bacon bits if using.

Baking and Serving

Slide the pizza into the hot oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes

For additional flavor, season the chicken with garlic powder and salt before adding. For variations, consider adding jalapeños or using different cheeses.
