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