CHICKEN SALSA PIZZA
I find this pizza great for leftover chicken, but you can use raw chicken breasts and cook them up. Also, because of the taste of salsa, you don't need as much cheese or sauce, which makes it healthier. I prefer to use homemade half-whole wheat pizza dough, but any dough will work.

CHICKEN PIZZA WITH AVOCADO SALSA
I made this the other week from a new cookbook I just got and it was quick and easy to make and tasted great. My niece especially liked it I made 2 pizza's and just bought a roast chook instead of cooking up a chicken tenderloin. It would also be great to use up leftover chicken from a roast.

Tips:
- Choose the right salsa: Not all salsas are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a salsa that is flavorful and has a bit of a kick. A medium or hot salsa is a good choice.
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh ingredients will give your pizza the best flavor. If you can, use fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs. If you don't have fresh ingredients on hand, frozen or canned ingredients will also work.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: When you're adding toppings to your pizza, don't go overboard. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook. A good rule of thumb is to use no more than 1-2 cups of toppings per 12-inch pizza.
- Cook the pizza at a high temperature: The best way to get a crispy crust on your pizza is to cook it at a high temperature. 425 degrees Fahrenheit is a good starting point. If your oven has a pizza setting, use that instead.
- Keep an eye on the pizza while it's cooking: Pizza cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it while it's in the oven. You don't want to overcook it, or the crust will become dry and brittle.
Conclusion:
Chicken salsa pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and gooey cheese, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chicken salsa pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
