Ingredients

  • Jerk seasoning - 2 tablespoons
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Pizza dough - 200 grams
  • Tomato sauce - 100 grams
  • Mozzarella cheese - 150 grams
  • Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
  • Red onion - 1/2 medium, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Lime - 1, for garnish

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken breast with jerk seasoning and olive oil, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  4. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Slice the marinated chicken into strips and cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked.
  7. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the pizza, then add the sliced red bell pepper and red onion on top.
  8. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the entire pizza.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before slicing and serving.
