Chipotle Pepper BBQ Chicken Pizza

Chipotle Pepper BBQ Chicken Pizza

      • pizza dough
      • salsa
      • fresh mozzarella cheese
      • pepper jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup chipotle pepper BBQ sauce

To make the pizza, first preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. If you are using a pizza stone, place it on the bottom rack of the oven to preheat.

Press your pizza dough into a 10 inch round. I put my dough on a piece of parchment paper so that I can easily slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. You can use a pizza pan if you wish.

Mix the cooked chicken with the Chipotle Pepper BBQ Sauce. Set aside.

Spread the salsa over the pizza dough. You may want to puree your salsa to make it smooth. I like the chunks, but go ahead and puree yours to make it smooth if that's what floats your boat. Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and distribute the slices over the pizza. Next, spread the chicken and BBQ sauce mixture around the pizza. Top with the shredded pepper jack cheese.

Bake the pizza until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted.

This usually takes 10-12 minutes in my oven, but your oven may be different. Let the pizza rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
