Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- In a medium bowl, toss chicken strips with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Spread the salsa evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the edge.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheeses over the salsa. Top with the cooked chicken, sliced bell peppers, and red onion.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheeses over the toppings.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. Add any optional toppings like fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or sliced jalapenos.
