BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Makes 2 thin-crust pizzas, serves 4 to 6
2 balls pizza dough, store-bought or homemade (approximately 22 ounces or enough for two 12-inch pizzas)
1 cup tomato or pizza sauce
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 pound low-moisture mozzarella, thinly sliced or shredded
1 chicken breast, cooked and chopped into bite-size pieces
Flour for rolling out dough
Chopped cilantro and green onions, to garnish
Optional topping: Sliced fresh tomatoes and caramelized onions
Preheat oven to 425°F. If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to pre-heat.
Using flour as needed, roll out one ball of pizza dough until thin (thin enough so the dough isn't in danger of tearing), about 12 inches across. Transfer the dough to a sheet pan or hot baking stone. Spoon 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup BBQ sauce onto dough. Add half of the sliced mozzarella and half of the chopped chicken.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until dough is crisp and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining dough for second pizza, or bake the pizzas side-by-side if your oven is big enough.
Garnish pizzas with cilantro and green onions, and serve while hot.
