Chicken Nacho Pizza Recipe

Chicken Nacho Pizza Recipe

  • Cornmeal Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast or RapidRise Yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F)
  • 1 tablespoon Mazola® Corn Oil
  • Toppings:
  • 2 cups frozen fajita-style cooked chicken strips, thawed and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups diced process cheese product
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 2 cups corn tortilla chips, divided
  • 1 cup salsa, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Combine 1 cup flour, cornmeal, undissolved yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Cover and let rest on floured surface while preparing toppings. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rest at this point for at least 10 minutes.)
  3. Combine chicken, process cheese, diced tomatoes and chiles, 1 cup crushed tortilla chips and 1/3 cup salsa in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Roll dough into 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan; sprinkle with additional cornmeal, if desired. OR, pat dough with floured hands, pressing gently to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough; prick surface with fork.
  5. Spread chicken mixture evenly over crust. Bake on lowest oven rack 12 to 15 minutes until center is set and crust is golden brown.
  6. Top with remaining chips and salsa, lettuce and sour cream.
