Barbecue Chicken Grilled Pizza

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Fire Up the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F to 425°F / 204°C to 218°C). Clean the grates thoroughly with a grill brush and oil them generously using a rolled paper towel dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Shape the Crust: On a lightly floured surface or piece of parchment paper, roll or stretch your pizza dough out into a large, even circle or rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
3. Prep Your Topping Station: Grilled pizza moves fast! Make sure your BBQ sauce, shredded chicken, veggies, and mixed cheeses are sitting right next to the grill in bowls before the dough hits the grates.
4. Grill the First Side: Brush one side of the stretched dough lightly with olive oil. Pick up the dough carefully and lay it directly onto the hot grill grates, oil-side down. Close the lid and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is beautifully charred with grill marks and the top starts to bubble up.
5. Flip and Assemble: Flip the crust over using large tongs or a pizza peel. Quickly turn the grill burners directly under the pizza down to low (or slide the crust to the cooler, indirect side of a charcoal grill).
6. Load It Up: Working quickly to replicate the gorgeous layering shown in , spread your barbecue sauce evenly over the grilled side of the crust. Scatter the shredded chicken, red bell peppers, and red onions across the sauce. Blanketing everything, mix your shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the toppings.
7. Melt and Crisp: Close the grill lid again. Let the pizza cook over indirect heat for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the bottom crust is perfectly crispy and the cheeses have completely melted into a glorious, bubbling yellow-and-white blanket.
8. Garnish and Dig In: Carefully slide the pizza off the grill onto a cutting board or round serving tray, just like the setup in . Shower the hot cheese with a generous handful of finely chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and freshness. Slice and serve immediately!
