Instructions
Creating Chicken Fajita Pizza is a straightforward process that anyone can master. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken strips in the seasoning.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
5. Preheat the Oven: While the vegetables are cooking, preheat your oven according to the pizza crust instructions (usually 425°F/220°C).
6. Assemble the Pizza: Spread salsa evenly over the pizza crust. Top with the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
8. Garnish: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top if desired.
9. Slice: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side if desired.
