Chicken and Pepper Pizza Recipe 
Preparation time: 45 minutes (15 minutes preparation + 30 minutes cooking)
Serves 4
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
• 250g flour
• 1 sachet of dry yeast (or 10g fresh yeast)
• 150ml warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil Topping
• 200g tomato coulis (or tomato sauce)
• 200g mozzarella (or grated cheese of your choice)
• 300g chicken breast, diced
• 1 red bell pepper (about 120g), sliced
• 1 green bell pepper (about 120g) g), sliced
• 1 red onion (about 80 g), sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika (or spices of your choice)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Preparation
Prepare the pizza dough
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in some of the warm water (about 50 ml) with a pinch of sugar (optional) and let it rest for 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), combine the flour and salt.
3. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast, the remaining warm water, and the olive oil.
4. Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes, until soft and elastic. 5. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if you have time) until it begins to puff up slightly. Prepare the chicken and vegetables
1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with paprika.
3. Brown for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring regularly, until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Set the chicken aside and, in the same skillet, sauté the bell pepper strips and sliced onion for 3 to 4 minutes to soften them slightly (optional, for a milder flavor). Assemble the pizza
1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (gas mark 7-8). 2. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a disc (or rectangle) about 30 cm in diameter.
3. Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza pan.
4. Spread with tomato sauce, leaving a 1 cm border.
5. Sprinkle with mozzarella or grated cheese.
6. Spread the chicken and vegetables on top. Bake
1. Bake the pizza for about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the dough and the power of your oven.
2. Keep an eye on it: the cheese should be melted and lightly browned, and the dough should be crispy around the edges.
Tips
• For a more spicy flavor, add a few slices of chili pepper or a drizzle of hot sauce. • You can substitute paprika with curry or a Mexican spice blend to vary the flavors.
Storage
• Ideally, enjoy your Chicken Pepper Pizza straight from the oven.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24 hours and reheat them in the oven (150°C) or microwave before serving.
