Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Set aside.
  6. In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
  7. Add the cooked chicken to the pan and sprinkle the spice mixture over the vegetables and chicken. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the spices.
  8. Remove the pan from heat and spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the pizza.
  9. Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  11. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
