Ingredients
- 1 package (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
- 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon canola oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green pepper, sliced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup chunky salsa
- 2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- Optional: Sour cream and additional salsa
Directions
- Unroll crust into a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray; flatten and build up edge slightly. Bake at 425°until edge is lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat in 1/2 teaspoon oil until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes; remove and keep warm.
- In the same pan, saute the onion, peppers, chili powder and cumin in remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in salsa and chicken.
- Sprinkle half the cheese over prepared crust; top with chicken mixture and remaining cheese. Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa if desired.
