Description

A smoky, spicy homemade pizza topped with marinated chipotle chicken, creamy chipotle sauce, melted cheese, and fresh vegetables on a golden crust.


Ingredients

Pizza Crust: 325 g all-purpose flour, 180 g warm water, 1½ tsp instant yeast, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp olive oil

Chipotle Chicken: 225 g boneless chicken tenders, 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tbsp honey, 3 tbsp adobo sauce, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp each garlic powder, chilli powder, paprika, ½ tsp chilli flakes, ¼ tsp pepper, ½ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp coriander, ¼ tsp cumin

Chipotle Sauce: 2 chipotle peppers, ¾ cup mayonnaise, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp pepper, ½ tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey

Toppings: 3 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella + pizza blend), 2 tbsp sliced kalamata olives, ½ tomato diced, 1 small jalapeño sliced, ½ bell pepper sliced, chopped fresh cilantro


Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Mix flour, warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil into a dough. Knead 8–10 min until smooth. Proof 60–90 min until doubled.
  2. Prepare chicken: Marinate chicken with olive oil, honey, adobo, and spices for 30 min. Cook in oiled pan 3–5 min per side until done. Slice and toss in juices.
  3. Make sauce: Blend chipotle peppers, mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder, pepper, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
  4. Assemble: Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Oil 9×13-inch pan, stretch dough to fit. Spread sauce, add cheese, chicken, and vegetables.
  5. Bake: Bake 12–13 min until crust is golden and cheese melts. Drizzle with more sauce and garnish with cilantro.
