Caribbean Jerk Pizza Instructions
- Pre-heat oven according to pizza dough instructions.
- Cook chicken and shred with a fork once cooked.
- In a small bowl toss cooked chicken with about 1/4 cup of the jerk sauce.
- Slice onions and chop the red and yellow pepper and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch out pizza dough into a circular shape.
- Spoon the Caribbean jerk sauce onto the top of the dough and use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly across the whole thing leaving about an inch of dough exposed along the edges. I usually use 2-4 tablespoons per pizza.
- Add the coated chicken pieces to the top of the Caribbean jerk sauce.
- Add onion slices and peppers to the top of the pizza.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Bake pizza in the preheated oven according to pizza dough instructions or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Top with additional green onion.
