Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Protein and Vegetables:
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oil:
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 475°F.
- Dust your work surface with flour and stretch your pizza dough out to the thickness that suits your taste.
- Place your dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet so it’s ready for toppings.
- Combine 1 cup of shredded chicken with 2 tablespoons of chili garlic sauce in a bowl until everything is coated evenly.
- Spread this chicken mixture across your dough base in an even layer.
- Scatter 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, then add 1/2 cup of sliced red bell pepper and 1/2 cup of sliced onion.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil across all your toppings, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano along with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Slide your pizza into the 475°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes until your crust turns golden brown and the cheese bubbles at the edges.
- Take your pizza out of the oven and let it rest for a minute or two before slicing.
- Cut into slices and serve your pizza while it’s still hot.
Notes
- Mix your chicken with the chili garlic sauce right before topping the pizza so the flavors stay vibrant and don’t get watered down during baking.
- Press your dough gently when rolling it out, as overworking it can make the crust tough and chewy instead of light and crispy.
- Scatter your bell peppers and onions evenly across the pizza so every slice gets a good balance of vegetables and toppings throughout.
- For a crispier crust on a regular baking sheet, brush the bottom with a little olive oil before adding your dough, and bake on the lowest oven rack for the last few minutes.
- If your pizza edges brown too quickly, tent the top loosely with foil halfway through baking and remove it for the final minutes to let the cheese finish melting.
