Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your very own Mexican Chicken Pizza:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Heat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). This high temperature ensures a crispy, delicious crust. 🔥🍕

2. Prepare the Baking Pan:

   • Coat a baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent the pizza from sticking and to make cleanup easier. 🍽️✨

3. Cook the Vegetables:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bell pepper strips and red onion strips until they are tender. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The vegetables should be slightly softened but still have a bit of crunch. 🌶️🧅

4. Assemble the Pizza Base:

   • Place the pre-made pizza crust or bread shell on the prepared baking sheet. 🥖📄

5. Mix the Sauce:

   • In a bowl, combine the pizza sauce with the chopped green chilies. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza crust, making sure to cover it all the way to the edges. 🍅🌶️

6. Add the Toppings:

   • Evenly sprinkle the red beans, cooked chicken breast, and cooked vegetables over the sauce. This combination ensures every bite is packed with flavor. 🫘🍗🌶️

7. Season:

   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, making sure it covers all the toppings. Then, season with salt and black pepper to taste. 🧀🧂

8. Bake the Pizza:

   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The pizza is ready when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown. 🍕⏲️

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. This helps the toppings set slightly, making it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy your delicious Mexican Chicken Pizza with family and friends! 🎉🍕
