Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  • On a floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
  • Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
  • Spread the salsa evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  • Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the salsa.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
  • Add the slices of red and yellow bell peppers, ensuring even distribution.
  • Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  • Place the pizza in the oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and cheese melts.
  • Once baked, remove the Salsa Chicken Whole Wheat Pizza from the oven.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
  • Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

1. For extra crispiness, you can pre-bake the pizza crust for about 5 minutes before adding toppings.
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.
