Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out dough and place on a well oiled pan.
In small skillet over medium high heat, brown bacon until crispy. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain the fat.
Optional: Place skillet back on medium high heat, and sauté onions until soft and transparent. If you prefer, leave the onions raw.
Mix ¼ cup barbecue sauce with chicken. Brush crust all over with remaining ¼ cup barbecue sauce, or more if desired. Arrange chicken, bacon, and onions on pizza crust. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese is bubbly. Let cool 2 to 3 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes
If you like, substitute mozzarella, provolone, smoked gouda, or Monterey Jack cheese for the cheddar, or use a combination.
