Ingredients

• 1 large store-bought pizza base
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast
• 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional, chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the pizza base on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 2

In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken breast with the salsa until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

Brush the olive oil over the edges of the pizza base for a golden crust. Sprinkle the base lightly with salt and black pepper for flavor.

Step 4

Spread the salsa-coated chicken evenly across the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Top the chicken with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, spreading them evenly.

Step 6

Scatter the sliced red onion and red bell pepper over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, if desired, for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Zippy Chicken Salsa Pizza!
