Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fajita seasoning
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Tomato-based pizza sauce
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
• 4 Lime wedges (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the fajita seasoning. Massage the seasoning into the chicken to evenly coat.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion.

Step 5

Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your baking sheet or pizza stone. Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 6

Spread the tomato-based pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the base layer.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the cooked chicken slices, sliced peppers, and red onion over the cheese.

Step 9

Top with the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese and the shredded cheddar cheese for a melty, golden topping.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the prepared pizza (along with the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 12

Slice the pizza into wedges, serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness, and enjoy!
