Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a perfectly crispy crust.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough until it reaches about 1/4 inch thick, aiming for a circle roughly 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly across the rolled dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Layer the shredded cooked chicken breast evenly over the sauce, then add the sliced pickled jalapeños.
  5. Sprinkle a hearty amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings, then add thinly sliced red onions on top.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil across the top of the pizza.
  7. Carefully place your prepared pizza into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  8. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving hot.
  9. Slice your pizza into generous pieces and enjoy!
