Recipe information

Make Mariachi Chicken Pizza in just 1h 30m. Sliced chicken breast, freshly cut Roma tomatoes and jalapeño peppers, mariachi spice and a side of sour cream.

Preparing the Dough

1. Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make Dough

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Knead Dough

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preparing the Toppings

5. Prepare Chicken

Cook the sliced chicken breast in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Season with 1 tsp of mariachi spice and set aside.

6. Chop Vegetables

Dice the Roma tomatoes and slice the jalapeño peppers thinly. Remove seeds from jalapeños for less heat, if desired.

Assembling and Baking the Pizza

7. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

8. Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

9. Add Toppings

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the base, followed by the cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños. Sprinkle the remaining mariachi spice over the top.

10. Bake Pizza

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Serving

11. Serve with Sour Cream

Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, and serve with a side of sour cream for dipping.
