Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa (or pizza sauce)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream and lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and sprinkle with fajita seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers and onions until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread the salsa or pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce. Top with the cooked chicken, sautéed peppers, and onions.
- Add the remaining cheese over the toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges for an extra fajita flair.
