Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced)

Instructions
 

  • Preparation Steps:
    Make the Dough: Activate yeast in warm water with sugar. Combine with flour, salt, and olive oil, then knead until smooth. Let it rise for 1 hour.
    Prepare the Chicken Fajita Topping: In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook sliced chicken with fajita seasoning, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until golden. Set aside.
    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and onions until slightly tender.
    Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the dough and place it on a greased baking sheet. Top with mozzarella, cheddar, cooked chicken, and sautéed veggies.
    Bake: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
    Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with lime wedges for a fresh citrus kick!

Notes

  • Flavor Boost: Marinate the chicken for 15-20 minutes in lime juice and fajita seasoning for extra depth of flavor.
  • Cheese Variations: Try pepper jack or smoked gouda for a unique twist.
  • Make It Spicier: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
  • Crispier Crust: Pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings for a crispier base.
  • Serving Idea: Pair with a side of guacamole or a fresh Mexican-style salad for a complete meal.
