Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).

  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or a sheet of parchment paper for easy transfer to the grill.

  3. Brush one side of the dough with olive oil and place it oiled-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes with the lid closed until the bottom is lightly charred and the top is bubbly.

  4. Carefully flip the dough using tongs or a spatula, then quickly spread the marinara sauce evenly over the cooked side. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

  5. Arrange the cooked chicken, red onion, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and the remaining mozzarella cheese over the pizza. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.

  6. Close the grill lid and continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the crust is crispy.

  7. Once the pizza is cooked, carefully slide it back onto the pizza peel or a cutting board. Let it rest for a minute before sprinkling fresh basil leaves on top.

  8. Slice the Grilled Chicken Pizza into wedges or squares, serve hot, and enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade creation.
