Ingredients
- 250 grams Skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Whole wheat pizza crust
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Provolone cheese, shredded

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, if using, mix the protein powder into the barbecue sauce until well combined.
Step 4
Place the whole wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 5
Distribute the cooked chicken strips evenly over the sauce.
Step 6
Top with sliced red onion, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and jalapeño pepper slices if using.
Step 7
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Step 9
Slice and serve immediately while hot, enjoying the hearty flavors and high protein content.
