Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing; 1 (8-oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" pieces; Kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; All-purpose flour, for dusting; 16 oz. store-bought or homemade pizza dough, room temperature; 2 tbsp. BBQ sauce, plus more for drizzling; 1/2 c. shredded cheddar; 1/2 c. shredded Fontina; 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced; Ranch dressing and thinly sliced chives, for serving

Step 1Arrange a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 450°. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add chicken; generously season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 2Brush a large (12") ovenproof skillet with oil. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough until circumference matches your skillet. Transfer to prepared skillet.

Step 3Spread BBQ sauce onto dough, leaving a 1/2" border around the edge. Top with cheddar, Fontina, chicken, then onion. Brush dough with oil; sprinkle with salt.

Step 4 Bake pizza until crust is crispy and cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes. Carefully transfer skillet to stovetop and cook over high heat until desired color is reached, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Step 5Drizzle pizza with BBQ sauce and ranch dressing. Top with chives.
