Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Prepare dough on a lightly floured surface and shape it into a flat pizza base.
- Brush the hot grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Slide the pizza dough directly onto the grill and close the lid. Grill dough for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is browned.
- Check dough for even browning and grill for an additional minute if needed.
- Remove dough from grill with tongs and place it back on a flat surface with the browned side facing up.
- Brush the top of the dough with olive oil and spread cream cheese over the surface.
- Layer 1 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced red onions, shredded chicken, and mushrooms evenly over the cream cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings.
- Place the pizza back on the grill, reduce heat to medium-high, and close the lid.
- Grill the pizza for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove pizza from grill and let it rest for a minute before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, try using smoked mozzarella or adding fresh herbs like basil after grilling.
