Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, toss chicken strips with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, cumin, corriander, chili powder, and cilantro. Make sure chicken is coated evenly with spice blend.
In a medium saute pan with 1 tsp oil, cook chicken until halfway done.
Remove chicken from pan and dice into cubes approximately 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch.
In the same pan, add onion and green pepper.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil.
Cook until peppers are soft and onions are opaque.
Remove peppers and onions from pan.
Preheat oven to 550 degrees
*if using a pizza stone, make sure the oven is preheating/heated for at least twenty minutes prior to putting the pizza into the oven.
Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a flat preparing surface, place dough ball onto flour and roll to get a light coating of flour.
Using a rolling pin or your hands, stretch dough out evenly to the size of the pan.
Prepare the pan using either cornmeal or olive oil, and place dough onto pan.
Spread sauce evenly across dough.
Mix together Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Spread a light layer of cheese on top of the sauce to act as a binding agent.
Spread the chicken across the entire pizza making sure that coverage is even.
Spread onions and peppers evenly across pizza.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese across the pizza.
Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is just beginning to brown.
