1

Place chicken breasts and 2 cups BBQ sauce in a 2-4 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours, or on High for 4-6 hours.
2

Shred chicken in the slow cooker, stirring the remaining cup of sauce.
3

Unroll and stretch out pizza dough and cut into 6 three-inch circles. Heat a skillet over medium heat, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Stretch each dough circle before adding to pan. Using 2 spatulas, continue to stretch circles as the first side cooks. Cook the dough circles in skillet, flipping so both sides cook to golden brown.
4

Top with shredded BBQ chicken, onion, cilantro and cheese (if using). Serve and enjoy!
