📖 Instructions

1. **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-450°F or 190-230°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. If you’re using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals for both direct and indirect heat.
2. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they’re fully coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be!
3. **Grill the Chicken:** Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
4. **Prepare the Pineapple:** If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and cut it into 1/2-inch thick rings or chunks. Lightly brush the pineapple with olive oil.
5. **Grill the Pineapple (Optional):** For extra flavor, grill the pineapple for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until slightly caramelized and grill marks appear. This step is optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
6. **Stretch or Roll Out the Pizza Dough:** On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle. You can use store-bought dough or make your own homemade dough.
7. **Brush the Dough with Olive Oil:** Lightly brush one side of the pizza dough with olive oil. This will help prevent sticking and create a crispy crust.
8. **Grill the First Side of the Dough:** Carefully place the oiled side of the pizza dough directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is slightly charred and golden brown. Watch it like a hawk – don’t let it burn!
9. **Flip the Dough:** Using a large spatula or pizza peel, carefully flip the pizza dough over. Brush the grilled side with olive oil.
10. **Add the Toppings:** Working quickly, spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the grilled side of the dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, followed by the grilled chicken, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeño slices (if using).
11. **Grill the Second Side:** Close the grill lid and continue grilling for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bottom of the crust is golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn the crust!
12. **Remove from Grill and Serve:** Carefully remove the pizza from the grill using a pizza peel or large spatula. Let it cool for a minute or two, then slice and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired.
13. **Enjoy!** This pizza is best served hot off the grill. The combination of smoky grilled flavors, sweet pineapple, and savory chicken is a match made in culinary heaven! Prepare yourself for some *serious* compliments!!
