Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large store-bought pizza base
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the pizza base on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken breast with the salsa until evenly coated. Set aside.
Brush the olive oil over the edges of the pizza base for a golden crust. Sprinkle the base lightly with salt and black pepper for flavor.
Spread the salsa-coated chicken evenly across the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the chicken with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, spreading them evenly.
Scatter the sliced red onion and red bell pepper over the cheese layer.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, if desired, for a burst of freshness.
Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Zippy Chicken Salsa Pizza!
