Sliced the cooked chicken into bite-sizes pieces.

Cover and set aside.

Cover and refrigerate until needed.

---

Step 5:
Lay the pita bread on a clean working surface.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over each piece of pita.

Place some of the veggies and sauce over the mozzarella cheese on each pita.

Arrange some of the Cajun chicken breast with the veggies and sauce.

Add some sauteed mushrooms, onions, bacon and larger chunks of crumbled feta cheese on each pizza.

Top the pizza with another 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 6:
Preheat the grill for indirect grilling to 400F - 450F.

Place each pizza on the grill (not over direct heat) and close the lid.

Every several minutes lift the lid and give the piece a 1/4 turn to ensure all sides get evenly cooked.

Once the mozzarella cheese begins to melt and brown (7 - 8 minutes) and the pita is nice and crisp it's time to remove the pizza.

Slice into smaller pieces for appetizers or plate each pizza, one per person.

Enjoy!
