Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2 For the chicken: Lightly salt and pepper each side of the chicken thighs. Then,
place the chicken in a saute pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive
oil. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side with the lid on to steam
and ensure doneness of chicken. I found cooking the chicken with the lid on
makes the chicken come out more tender and easier to shred while locking in the
flavor of the chicken.
3 Once the chicken is cooked through, place in a separate bowl and shred with two
forks. Then toss in about 2 tablespoon of BBQ sauce.
4 In the same pan you cooked your chicken, toss in the sliced onion, red wine
vinegar and butter. Cook on low for about 5 to 10 minutes or until onions begin
to caramelize. Remove from heat.
5 Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and roll out your dough
into one 12" pie or two 6" pies.
6 Sauce up your pizza! Toss your mozzarella cheese on top and then spread the
chicken and onions on top of the pizza. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
7 Bake pizza in preheated oven for about 13 minutes or until bottom of pizza is
nice and golden.
