Ingredients:

Boneless chicken breast (cut into small cubes)		1 ½ cup/ 300 gms

Green Bell pepper/Capsicum (OR mixed mini peppers, cut into thin sliced or small squares)		½ cup

Method:

For the Crust:

2. Now add the flour, olive oil, and salt. Stir quickly with a wooden spoon till thoroughly mixed.
3. Knead with hands for 5 minutes till smooth and elastic.
4. Form into a ball, oil the surface with a little olive oil, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
5. Allow resting in a warm or sunny place for 1 hour, till doubled in size.

For the Tomato sauce

 You can substitute this with your favourite smooth pasta sauce if you are looking for a short cut:

1. Add the tomatoes to a saucepan with water and boil till the tomatoes are tender and the skin is coming off.  (While the tomatoes are cooking, marinate the chicken)
2. Drain. Peel and Puree the tomatoes.
3. Return to the saucepan with garlic, onion, basil leaves a little salt and sugar.
4. Boil, adding ¾ cup of water and allow to thicken.
5. Strain the sauce, It should be thick and spreadable and not runny.

Marinate the Chicken & Stir-fry:

1. Marinate the drained chicken cubes in lime juice, salt and paprika. Allow to sit till the Pizza dough is about ready.
2. Heat oil in a small non stick pan and toss the chicken. Stir fry till the chicken is just cooked tender and the juices have evaporated.
3. Set aside the cooked chicken.

Assemble and Bake Chicken Supreme Pizza:

1. Preheat oven to 220º c.
2. Knock down the dough gently. Divide into two portions.
3. Grease your Pizza Pans. Sprinkle lightly with flour or cornmeal.
4. Oil hands lightly and pick up one portion of the dough and spread it into the pan using your palms. Press against the rim of the pan with your fingers to fill the edges evenly.
5. Allow resting briefly; up to 10 minutes.
6. Make sharp cuts in the dough with a knife or fork.
7. Spread a THIN layer of sauce over the pizza base.
8. Next: you can add a layer of cheese, followed by the – vegetable toppings, OR add the toppings and the cheese over the top. I love the cheese on top because it keeps the chicken and vegetables nice and moist, but presentation-wise the cheese goes first.
9.  Sprinkle the cheese over evenly, avoiding the outer rim.
10. Top lightly and evenly with the cooked chicken, olives, green pepper, mushrooms, and red chilli. (Also place the pepperoni over the pizza if using)
11. Sprinkle the surface of the Pizza with oregano.
12. Bake: PREHEAT OVEN  to 220 c, 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOU PUT THE PIZZA IN. Use only heat from the bottom if possible. Use a pizza stone if you have it.
13. Place the pizza on the lower rack of your oven, Or on to 2 racks.
14. Bake till the crust is cooked golden and the cheese is melted.
15. (Check after 15 minutes – slide a spatula under the crust to check for doneness. Oven temperatures may vary so adjust heat OR timing  accordingly)
16. Yummy Pizza is ready to be sliced and served!

Chicken Supreme Pizza

 

Notes:

• You can add some dried tarragon or other herbs to the dough to add more flavor.
• This is one recipe, where I really don’t mind canned mushrooms.
• CooksNote: For a quick version, use store-bought pizza crust, Make the sauce using DelMonte canned tomatoes(plusone large tomato). Add Kashmiri chilli powder to the chicken. White Button Mushrooms. Oven on Pizza setting – lowest rack, at 240C for around 10 minutes.
