3 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
1/2 small onion, chopped
2/3 cup barbecue sauce
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough

Sprinkle the cheese and cilantro over the top. Fold the uncovered portion of dough over the filling, and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
