Instructions
Make the homemade pizza dough at least 2 hours, but up to 1 day, before making the pizza.
30 minutes before cooking, move the bottom oven rack to the lowest spot in the oven and the second one to the top. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Spread the olive oil around the cast iron pan so that it lightly coats the bottom and sides. If any of it puddles, use a paper towel to soak it up.
Dump the dough out into the pan bottom side up so that the top has a layer of oil on it from the bowl. Use your fingers to spread it out to fit the pan. Cover and keep somewhere warm while you make the sauce and chicken. I like to keep it on the opposite side of the stovetop on a turned-off burner.
Stir together the garlic powder, salt, and pepper and toss the chicken in the seasoning mixture.
In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the chicken until mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add the rest of the butter and the hot sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until it becomes slightly thickened, another 5 minutes. Spoon the chicken out of the sauce and onto a plate and set aside.
Spoon the sauce over the crust spreading it almost the whole way to the edges. Then, sprinkle 2/3rds of the cheese over the entire pizza. Evenly spread out the chicken on top of the cheese layer. Finally, finish with the rest of the cheese.
Bake in the bottom of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through and bubbly. If the top isn't browned enough, turn on the broiler and broiler for 1 to 3 minutes. Watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes then remove it from the pan using a spatula. Cut into 8 pieces.
