Spicy Chicken & Jalapeno Pizza

What you need:

For the pizza crust:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 tsp. yeast
• 1 tsp. salt

For the chicken:

• 1 to 2 chicken breasts, diced
• 1 Tbsp. chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. chipotle powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

For the pizza "sauce":

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• Pinch of salt

For the pizza:

• 1 cup pickled jalapenos
• 1 cup cubed mozzarella (I cut up mozzarella sticks)

Directions:

1. For the pizza crust: stir together 1 yeast and warm water until yeast has dissolved.
2. Add flour and salt and knead with a mixer or your hands until a ball of dough forms.
3. Cover and let rise for 1 to 2 hours.
4. For the chicken: season diced chicken with spices.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken over medium-high heat until done. Set aside.
6. For the sauce: mix together ingredients and set aside.
7. Take the pizza crust dough and halve it. Save half for later - I love to freeze mine!
8. Roll out and then let sit for a few minutes. Roll out again to desired thinness.
9. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 2 minutes.
10. Remove from oven and spread a thin layer of "sauce" on top.
11. Then top with chicken, cheese, and jalapenos.
12. Bake for 8 to 10 more minutes or until edges begin to brown.
