Ingredients
1 pre-made pizza dough
1cup cooked chicken, shredded
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2cup red bell pepper, sliced
1/4cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Chili flakes, for extra heat (optional)
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken and chili garlic sauce until well coated.
Spread the Chicken: Evenly distribute the chili garlic chicken mixture over the pizza dough.
Add Vegetables: Scatter the sliced red bell pepper and red onion over the chicken.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the pizza.
Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top for added flavor.
Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and chili flakes if desired for extra flavor.
Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Rest: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor, if desired.
Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and serve hot.
Notes
Letting the pizza rest for 10 minutes after baking allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to slice and enhancing flavor.
Adding chili flakes gives an extra kick if you prefer a spicier pizza.
Fresh cilantro garnish adds a fresh and colorful finish but is optional.
