Cajun Chicken Pizza


Another cold pizza that makes a great nibble when guests are over.  My Cajun chicken addiction continues.

I always make my own pizza dough, but if time is pressing some refrigerated from the store works just as well.  Pizza dough is totally one of the easiest yeast breads to zip together though.


Cajun Chicken Pizza

Pizza dough
1/2 cup medium salsa
16oz reduced fat chive and onion cream cheese
2 tsp hickory bacon salt
2 ancho peppers, roasted and sliced into strips
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Cajun chicken, cut into cubes

I formed the pizza dough into 4 long rectangles instead of two large circles.  Bake at 375 for 15 to 18 minutes until crust is lightly browned.  Let crusts cool on rack.

Mix together cream cheese, salsa, and bacon salt.  Spread across cooled crusts.  Top cream cheese with chicken, peppers, and tomatoes.  Slice into strips and chill until ready to serve.

  1. Bacon salt-that is a new one for me but it must be one tasty seasoning. The mix of the cream cheese and salsa does sound like a great alternative from the standard tomato! Great post-yum!
