Chicken Fajita Pizza

Servings 1 pizza - around 4 servings

Ingredients

for the crust

  • 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose white flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • pinch salt

for the pizza

  • ½ cup pizza sauce - here's my recipe for simple homemade pizza sauce
  • 1 small onion
  • ½ red pepper
  • ¼ cup sweet corn
  • ¼ cup kidney beans
  • ½ chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • Mexican cheese

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your electric mixer with the dough hook attached, mix together the warm water, yeast, sugar and oil.
  • Leave to rest for 15 minutes until foamy then add in the flours and salt. Mix on a low speed until combined then increase the speed to medium and mix for 5-6 minutes until you have an elastic dough.
  • Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover it and leave to rise in a warm place for about 90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Whilst the dough is rising, prepare the pizza toppings. Finely slice the onion and red pepper.
  • Pour a tiny bit of olive oil into a frying pan and fry the onion, red pepper, sweet corn and kidney beans until everything is soft - around 10-15 minutes.
  • Poach the chicken in a saucepan over a medium heat for around 15 minutes or until fully cooked through. Pour out the water and shred the chicken using two forks. Toss with the fajita seasoning until all the chicken is covered in the mix.
  • When the dough has risen, punch it down and place onto a greased or lined pizza-baking tray. With a rolling pin, roll the dough so it covers the baking tray, making the dough thicker around the edge of the tray, almost like a shallow bowl.
  • Smear the crust with pizza sauce and sprinkle on the onion, pepper, sweet corn, kidney beans and fajita-seasoned chicken.
  • Top with Mexican cheese and bake for around 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is all melted and bubbly.
