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.
