Instructions

Chicken Fajita Pizza Cooking Guide

  • In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add in the olive oil, honey, salt, and flour. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for a crispy crust. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the fajita seasoning and defrosted pepper and onion blend. Sauté until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or heated pizza stone.
  • Spread the enchilada sauce evenly over the pizza dough. Top with the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture, followed by the shredded Colby Jack cheese.
  • Bake the Chicken Fajita Pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges, if desired.
