Santa Fe Pizza



Santa Fe Chicken Pizza


I will show you how to assemble the pizza, and all the recipes are under the pictures. The toppings make enough to cover about two twelve inch pizzas.

Sprinkle caramelized onions all over the dough. (I usually use more onions than this, but it's all I had left from the aforementioned girls night)



Add mozzarella cheese. (There is a restaurant supply store here in town that sells whole milk mozzarella for less than the low moisture variety at the regular grocery stores, so I use that. It is extremely soft, so it doesn't grate very well. I just ask them to slice it in sandwich slices and then I throw the slices on the pizza. It is so creamy and delicious when it melts!)



Next add the lime grilled chicken slices



Bake at 475 until crust is lightly golden brown and the cheese is melted. Garnish with some fresh chopped cilantro.



Let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.



Grilled Lime Chicken

1 TBSP lime juice
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp honey
pinch cumin
pinch red pepper flakes
1 TBSP chopped cilantro
2 TBSP oil
2 chicken breast

Combine everything except the chicken, and mix well. Pour over the chicken and let marinate 20 minutes. Grill (or saute) until cooked through. Allow to rest five minutes, and then slice.


Caramelized Onions

1 1/2 TBSP butter
1 small red onion, sliced into thin rings
1/4 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce

Melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions and cook 3 minutes. Add vinegar, reduce heat to medium low and cook ten minutes. Add soy sauce and cook 5-10 minutes until nice and caramelized.

Guacamole
1 avacado
1 tsp lime juice
1 TBSP chopped scallions
1/2 tsp minced jalapeno
salt

Mash everything together and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Salsa
3 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp minced jalapeno
1 TBSP cilantro
salt

Combine and refrigerate until ready to serve. Drain any excess liquid.
