Heat oven to 450ºF. Cover baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Rinse chicken. Pat dry. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken.
Saute 2 minutes, or until the exterior is no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan with a slotted spoon. Add onion and mushrooms to the pan.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Saute 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Remove pan from heat. Return chicken to pan.
Stir barbecue sauce into chicken and vegetables. Place pizza crust on a baking sheet. Arrange half of the cheese on pizza crust.
