Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Jiffy Pizza Crust Mix
- 0.5 cup Warm Water
- 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast (sliced)
- 0.5 Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
- 0.5 Green Bell Pepper (sliced)
- 0.5 Yellow Onion (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Fajita Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 0.33 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Sour Cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a pizza pan or baking sheet lightly with olive oil or use parchment paper.
Prepare the Jiffy pizza crust mix according to package instructions. Combine the mix with 1/2 cup of warm water in a bowl, stir until a dough forms, and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Dust a clean surface with 1 tablespoon of flour, knead the dough for about 1 minute, and then roll it out to fit your prepared pizza pan.
Carefully transfer the dough to the pan and use your hands to shape it evenly. Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 5 minutes, then remove and set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with fajita seasoning and stir until well-coated. Remove from heat.
Spread 1/3 cup of salsa evenly across the pre-baked pizza crust as the base sauce.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the salsa.
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, pepper, and onion mixture over the cheese layer.
Top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Bake the pizza at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
Slice into pieces and serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream on top.
