Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set the sheet aside.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add 2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces) to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 ounce taco seasoning and 8 ounces taco sauce to the skillet, stir to coat the chicken, and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • On a clean work surface, roll 16 ounces pizza dough into a 10–12 inch circle or rectangle. Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread 16 ounces refried beans in an even layer over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle 3/4 of the 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the refried beans.
  • Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup sliced olives, and 2 scallions (sliced) over the cheese.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the toppings.
  • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh cilantro and sour cream to taste, slice, and serve.

Notes

The chicken should be fully cooked before adding it to the pizza.
Thoroughly spread the refried beans wherever you add the toppings. This helps create a barrier between the pizza dough and the toppings, preventing a soggy crust.
