Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken works great)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)

Olive oil for brushing

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, ensure it’s preheated as well.

    Combine Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with half of the BBQ sauce. This will help flavor the chicken thoroughly.

      Prepare the Pizza Base: Brush one side of the pizza crust lightly with olive oil. This will help it crisp up nicely on the grill.

        Assemble the Pizza:

          - Place the oiled side of the crust down on a lightly floured pizza peel or a cutting board.

            - Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the crust.

              - Add the corn kernels over the chicken.

                - Sprinkle the sliced red onion on top, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.

                  - Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce on top for extra flavor.

                    Grill the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

                      Finishing Touches: Once cooked, remove the pizza from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top before slicing.

                        Serve and Enjoy: Cut the pizza into slices, serve hot, and enjoy your effortless BBQ chicken pizza on a busy night!
