Cook the chicken at a boil until the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Turn the pizza dough out onto a well-floured surface and roll it into a 12-inch circle.
