Description
A delicious Cajun chicken pizza made with Cajun garlic pizza sauce, topped with Cajun flavored chicken, veggies and mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb homemade or store bought pizza dough
- 1/4 cup Cajun chicken pizza sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/3 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cups onions, diced
- 1/2 a green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 to 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- Optional: red pepper flakes, parmesan
Instructions
- Prepare the pizza dough and roll it into a 10-12" circle.
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Add the chicken chunks, olive oil and Cajun seasoning to a Ziploc bag. Shake to mix.
- Cook the chicken on a saucepan over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
- Spread the Cajun chicken pizza sauce over the dough, leaving an edge around the dough for the crust.
- Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza, adding as much cheese as you like.
- Add the Cajun chicken, diced tomatoes, onions, and bell pepper toppings over the pizza evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Optional: top with a dash of fresh parmesan and red pepper flakes as soon as you take the pizza out of the oven.
- Serve.
Notes
- If you don't have time to make the Cajun garlic pizza sauce, you can use regular tomato sauce and it will still taste great but will have less Cajun flavor.
- You can easily make this a vegetarian pizza by removing the Cajun chicken.
