Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch size, store-bought or homemade) Pizza dough
• 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
• 2 pieces (finely chopped) Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 piece (small, thinly sliced) Red onion
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup (optional, cooked) Corn kernels
• 1 piece (thinly sliced, optional) Jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet that’s been dusted with flour or cornmeal.

Step 6

Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the sauce.

Step 8

Distribute the chipotle chicken mixture over the cheese layer. Add the thinly sliced red onion, cooked corn kernels (if using), and jalapeño slices.

Step 9

Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone (or a baking sheet if you don’t have a stone). Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before slicing and serving. Enjoy your smoky and spicy Chipotle Chicken Pizza!
