Ingredients:

Mexican Chicken Pizza Recipe - How to Make a Pizza at Home With a Perfect Blend of Ingredients

  • Frozen Bread Dough (White or Wheat) or Store Bought Pizza crust
  • A Little Vegetable Oil
  • Cornmeal

  • Refried Beans, cooked and thinned with water.
  • BBQ Sauce, your favorite flavor from the grocery store.
  • Jack Cheese (or any combo of Jack, Mozzarella, & Cheddar), shredded
  • Chicken, cooked and shredded
  • Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • Red Onion, chopped
  • Black Olives, sliced
  • Jalapeno Pepper, sliced thin, seeds removed (optional)
  • Cilentro, chopped
  • Salsa

Directions:

Pizza Crust: Defrost one loaf of the frozen bread dough according to directions. It seems to work best defrosting it slowly so it gets large and fluffy before you roll it out using a rolling pin. Put flour on your cutting board so the dough doesn't stick.If it is easier to purchase a premade pizza crust in your grocery store that will also work.

Grease your cookie sheet or two medium pizza pans using any kind of vegetable oil. One of my secrets to a good homemade pizza is putting some cornmeal on the pizza pan after you oil it. The cornmeal kind of acts like little ball bearings, keeping the dough from sticking to the pan, plus it adds a great flavor to any pizza.

Sauce: This will be your refried beans and BBQ sauce. Cook and crush your beans adding some water to make a thinner paste. Spread on the crust so it is a thin layer. Drizzle with your favorite BBQ sauce. A great mix!

Toppings: Spread shredded cheese on pizza to cover. Top with chicken, red bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and jalapeno pepper. Add a little more cheese on top.

Bake: 400° for about 15 minutes. Check it occasionally making sure it doesn't overcook. Cheese will be starting to bubble in center.

After baking, sprinkle the pizza with cilentro and your favorite homemade tomato salsa to add a wonderful fresh flavor.

Some pizzerias will add chopped tomatoes on top for a delectable finishing touch to their pizza, but in this case an authentic mexican salsa will finish your Mexican Chicken Pizza perfectly.

What You Need

How To Make Mouthwatering Mexican White Cheese Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • ½ finely diced onion
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup butter or margarine

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can drained chopped green chilies
  • 1 can drained chopped chipotle chilies
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It

Using a medium size saucepan over medium heat add the vegetable oil and then saute diced onion while stirring frequently to prevent burning for 5 to 10 minutes or until it is translucent. Stir in the garlic, reduce heat to low or simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside until needed.

Gradually add a small amount of milk at a time and continue stirring while increasing to a medium heat. Continue whisking for approximately 5 to 10 minutes as the sauce thickens.

Reduce heat and then add the onion and garlic mixture, cumin, and the chilies while stirring until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix well by whisking.

Remove from heat and gradually add the grated cheese. Using the whisk you will stir in each handful as you add the cheese until melted. Continue adding the cheese a handful at a time and stir until the mixture is well mixed and creamy in appearance.

You can serve this immediately with tortilla chips. If you want to keep the sauce warm enough for dipping place it in a small crockpot on low heat and cover with the lid until serving.

Easy Mexican Chicken Recipes With Herbs

Beginners to the world of Mexican cuisine will enjoy learning some easy Mexican recipes featuring fresh or dried herbs. Chicken is a great ingredient to use for these because it is economical, easy to work with and versatile.

Some recipes call for an entire chicken, usually chopped into pieces, and others will suggest you use thighs or breast. Breasts are good for poaching or slow cooking but they can dry out in the oven unless you watch them closely. Thighs take longer to cook but the meat is richer in flavor and a lot of people prefer thighs.

Pizza Recipe

There are various herbs you can work with. Cilantro is a popular herb because it goes so well with the flavor found in many traditional Mexican foods but mint, parsley, and thyme are also used frequently.

Mint Chicken

One of the simplest Mexican chicken recipes you can make is mint chicken. You will need half a cup of mint leaves to make this. Chop them up and let them soak in a cup of orange juice with a tablespoon of orange zest and quarter of a cup of white sugar added to it.

Cut a whole bird into pieces and wash them with running water. Pat the poultry dry. Salt them and then fry them until they are golden. Drain off the grease.

Boil five tablespoons of vinegar for half a minute, then add the orange juice and mint mixture. Pour this sauce over the bird and cook it until it is tender. Serve this delicious meal hot.

Thyme Chicken

Another simple idea is poultry cooked in its own juice. You will need a whole bird for this one too. Cut the bird into pieces and wash them. Pat them dry and sprinkle salt over them. Saute the poultry in hot oil, then take them out and fry four sliced onions in the same oil.

Put the poultry back in the pot and add a pinch of thyme, four tablespoons of vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Cover the pot and let the bird cook until it is tender, then serve it with cooked vegetables or a green salad.

Parsley Chicken

This tasty meal serves four people and it is great for busy weeknights. You will need four boneless, skinless breasts for this, weighing about five ounces each.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and spray nonstick cooking spray over a shallow baking pan. Lay the breasts in the baking tray and squeeze the juice from one lime over them. You can use a lemon instead of a lime if you prefer.

Sprinkle quarter of a cup of freshly chopped parsley on top, as well as the grated zest from the lime and a pinch of black pepper. Bake the breasts for twenty minutes or until they are 165 degrees F inside and cooked through without any traces of pink inside.
