Tips

2. Feel free to adjust the spiciness by choosing a milder or hotter salsa.
3. Adding a dash of red chili flakes can elevate the heat for those who like it extra spicy.
4. If you’re in a rush, store-bought whole wheat pizza dough works just as well.

Serving Suggestions

• Consider pairing the Salsa Chicken Whole Wheat Pizza with a fresh green salad, drizzled with a light vinaigrette.
