Chipotle Chicken Pizza

Ok, I did not follow the directions very well with this recipe and ended up putting a whole can of chipotle in it. It was sooo spicy! However, Justin absolutely loved it. Next time, I will only put 1/2 a chipotle in it, for me at least. I might have to make Justin his own pizza and put the whole can of chipotle on his.


1 can (11oz) Pillsbury refrigerated thin pizza crust
1 cup Old El Paso Thick 'n Chunky mild salsa
1/2 to 1 chipotle in adobo sauce, finely chopped (from 7-oz can)
1 package (5oz) refrigerated cooked Southwestern-style chicken breast strips
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (6 oz)

DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Spray or grease 15x10-inch or larger dark or nonstick cookie sheet. Unroll dough on cookie sheet; starting at center, press dough into 15x10-inch rectangle. 2 In small bowl, mix salsa and chipotle chile; spread to within 1/2 inch of edges of dough. 3 Top with chicken strips, onion and peppers; sprinkle with cheese. 4 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

 

Note: Chipotle chiles are jalapeño chiles that are dried and smoked.
