Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 2X½-inch strips
1 Tablespoons olive oil
1-2 teaspoons chili powder your choice of how spicy you like it
½ - 1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup red onions thinly sliced
1 ¼ cup combination of green and red bell pepper cut into 2X½-inch strips
13.8 oz. Pillsbury All Ready Pizza Crust may also use your own recipe
¾ cup salsa or picante sauce use either mild or hot
8 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese. (add more if you like it cheesy). 2 cups shredded

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir-fry the chicken in oil for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. It's a simple step; you've got this!
Stir in chili powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Add onions and bell peppers; stir-fry an additional 1 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Heat oven to 425℉. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a 13X9-inch baking pan. Unroll the dough and place it in the greased pan; starting at the center, press out with your hands.
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until very light golden brown.
Spoon chicken mixture over partially baked crust. Spoon salsa over chicken; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Serves 6 to 8.
