Ingredients
Scale

- 1–2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili flakes

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Lightly flour your counter and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in chili garlic sauce, tomato sauce, honey, and chili flakes.
- Fold in the chicken and cook for 1–2 minutes so it absorbs the sauce.
- Spread the sauce and chicken mixture over the dough. Top with mozzarella, Parmesan, onions, and bell peppers.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden.
- Finish with cilantro, lemon juice, and a drizzle of chili oil if you like extra heat.
- Let cool briefly before slicing.
