Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Step 2
Prepare the chicken by rubbing it with olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it thinly.
Step 5
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, transferring it to a large baking sheet or pizza stone.
Step 6
Spread the low sodium barbecue sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 7
Evenly distribute the sliced chicken over the barbecue sauce.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
Step 9
Top the pizza with sliced red onions and green bell peppers.
Step 10
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 12
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before slicing and serving.
