Being Cheap is Easy: Recipe: Chicken fajita pizza

Recipe: Chicken fajita pizza

September 02, 2011

In our house, we have established a "pizza Friday".  We make pizzas and watch a movie.  Now that Ricky has a new job, it's nice to have him around for the movie night too!  I had a ton of leftover chicken last week and I accidentally made this amazing pizza.  Don't you love when that happens?!  The best part of this is most items are always stocked in the fridge or pantry. 

Notice the pizza was half gone by the time I snapped the pic.  I was HUNGRY!



Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups leftover chicken, sliced or shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, any color, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 package of 4 cheese Mexican (or I did 1 cup Co-jack + 1 cup pepper jack)
  • 1 packet of Fajita seasoning, splash of water or stock
  • 1 cup salsa (more or less for taste)
  • 1 container of pizza dough (I love the Meijer brand, its super crispy!)
  • Optional toppings: green onion & cilantro
Directions
  1. Preheat oven @ 400.  Reheat chicken in microwave for about 1 minute.  Add a splash of water/stock and fajita seasoning.  I did not use the whole packet, just eyeball how much you want.  Add more water/stock if necessary.
  2. Spread out dough.  Add salsa as the pizza sauce.  Top with peppers, onions and chicken.  Spread cheese evenly and bake for 10-15 minutes.  After baking, top with green onion & cilantro, if wanted.
SO easy and delish!

We made this pizza and a BBQ chicken pizza.  Great way to use up leftovers and a switch up from plain pepperoni pizza.

You should make tonight a pizza night!
