Ingredients
1 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 (12-inch) prepared pizza crust
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded extra sharp white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
Directions
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breast in the hot skillet and cook for approximately 6 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and shred or cube it into bite-sized pieces.
Drizzle 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce over the cooked chicken and stir gently to coat evenly.
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
Layer the barbecue-coated chicken, both types of shredded cheddar cheese, sliced red onion, and drained pineapple tidbits over the sauce-covered crust.
Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with the fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
