Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Frying Pan
  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp. canola or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 3 cups diced fresh red, yellow and green bell peppers
  • 1 13.8 oz. tube refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® ChefStyle Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 1 ½ cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • Chopped cilantro or dried oregano (optional)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Heat canola or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped sweet onion; sauté 2 minutes. Add diced bell peppers; sauté 5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  • 2. Meanwhile, unroll pizza dough onto a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray; press dough evenly to all edges of pan. Bake in preheated 425°F for 8 minutes.
  • 3. Stir salsa into cooked vegetables; spread over partially baked crust. Top with cooked and shredded chicken and Sargento® ChefStyle Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese.
  • 4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Cut into squares; garnish with chopped cilantro or dried oregano if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to restore the crispiness.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the pizza before baking. Just wrap it tightly in foil, and it can last up to three months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Pairing: This pizza pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the spice by adding jalapeños or using spicier salsa if you prefer a kick.
  • Melt Cheese: Experiment with different cheese blends like mozzarella or cheddar for a unique twist.
