The Pizza:
- Heat the grill to medium-heat. Lightly oil the grate.
- Roll out the dough into 6 (6-inch) rounds. Lay them on a flour-covered cutting board until you’re ready to use them.
- Before the pizzas go on the grill, be sure to have all of your ingredients ready and sitting right beside the barbecue.
- Place the pizza dough rounds on the grill. Depending on the size of your grill, you may have to do this in 2 batches. Close the lid and grill for about 2 minutes, or until there are grill marks on the bottom of each round.
- Flip the rounds. As they start to puff up, press down slightly with the back of a metal spatula to get rid of some of the air inside the dough. Quickly divide the barbecue sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, red bell pepper and onion evenly among the pizzas.
- Close the lid and grill until the cheese melts, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill, cut and serve.
