Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb (or a 12-inch pre-made crust) Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Chipotle sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 1 whole Fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
- 0.25 cup Crumbled cotija cheese
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with olive oil, covering the edges lightly for a golden crust.
Spread the chipotle sauce evenly over the pizza, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as a base layer.
Distribute the shredded chicken, red onion slices, and sweet corn evenly over the cheese.
Add the jalapeño slices for a spicy kick, adjusting based on your heat preference.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese on top while still hot.
Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
