Ingredients

• 1 package Jiffy Pizza Crust Mix
• 0.5 cup Warm Water
• 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast (sliced)
• 0.5 Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
• 0.5 Green Bell Pepper (sliced)
• 0.5 Yellow Onion (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Fajita Seasoning Mix
• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 0.33 cup Salsa
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Sour Cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a pizza pan or baking sheet lightly with olive oil or use parchment paper.

Step 2

Prepare the Jiffy pizza crust mix according to package instructions. Combine the mix with 1/2 cup of warm water in a bowl, stir until a dough forms, and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Dust a clean surface with 1 tablespoon of flour, knead the dough for about 1 minute, and then roll it out to fit your prepared pizza pan.

Step 4

Carefully transfer the dough to the pan and use your hands to shape it evenly. Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 5 minutes, then remove and set aside.

Step 5

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with fajita seasoning and stir until well-coated. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Spread 1/3 cup of salsa evenly across the pre-baked pizza crust as the base sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the salsa.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, pepper, and onion mixture over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Step 10

Bake the pizza at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 12

Slice into pieces and serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream on top.
