How to Make Mexican Chicken Pizzas

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 500g ground chicken and cook, breaking up any lumps, until browned and cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Place 2-4 pizza bases (depending on size) on baking sheets.
  3. Spread 1/2 cup of your favorite taco sauce evenly over each pizza base.
  4. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the taco sauce.
  5. Top with the cooked chicken, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (capsicum), and 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes.
  6. (Optional) Add a 15-ounce can of drained and rinsed Mexican chili beans for extra flavor and protein.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pizza bases are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
