Chicken Fajita Pizza

8 Servings

Ingredients:

1 (13.8-oz.) can refrigerated pizza crust

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ¼ lb), cut into thin bite-size strips

1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup thinly sliced onions

1 cup green or red bell pepper strips (2x1/4-inch)

1/2 cup Salsa

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 oz)

Method:

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan or 13x9-inch pan with CRISCO® Original nonstick cooking spray. Unroll dough; place in sprayed pan. Starting at center, press out dough to edge of pan to form crust.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until very light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with chili powder, salt and garlic powder. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add onions and bell pepper strips; cook and stir an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over crust. Spoon salsa over chicken; sprinkle with cheese.

Bake 14 to 18 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges or squares to serve.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): After adding onions and bell pepper strips, cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes longer.
