Chicken fajita pizza a variation is one we often enjoy, the chicken is unexpected but delicious. On hectic days, I can make it in a snap using a prepared crust. Either way, it disappears in a hurry.

Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes.
In a skillet, saute chicken in remaining oil until juices run clear.
