- Cover with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.
- Distribute half the chicken pieces evenly over the cheese (approximately 18 pieces).
- Place approximately 18 to 20 pieces of red onion over the surface.
- Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes.
- When the pizza is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven; sprinkle 1 Tbs. cilantro over the hot surface.
- Slice and serve.
