I found this recipe in the Better Homes & Gardens Cook Healthy Today cookbook. I did alter the recipe because I am not really into "spicy" - the original recipe is called "Spicy Chicken Pizza" - I will note the ingredients that I did not use in the list in case you want the "spicy" version.
This is a pretty easy recipe to make, it does require a bit of "pre-work" such a cutting the chicken into bite-size pieces and cutting the onions & peppers into small pieces.
Chicken Pizza by Better Homes & Garden
Ingredients:
12 ounces skinless, boneless, chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces (I bought the chicken tenderloins that were in thin strips)
2 tsps cooking oil (I used olive oil)
1 medium red sweet pepper, cut into strips and into bite size pieces
1 small onion, peeled and chopped into small pieces
1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 cup of bottled picante sauce ** I used plain tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese ** I used a "pizza blend" cheese mixture
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400
In a large non-stick skillet, cook the chicken pieces in the hot oil over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, until you no longer see any pink.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, add the onions and peppers.
Using a large baking dish, spray with Pam or something similar. Unroll the pizza dough into the baking dish and press with your fingers to fill out the pan.
Pinch up the edges to form a crust.
Spread the crust with the sauce (tomato or picante).
Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables over the top of the pizza. I also sprinkle a little bit of oregano since I was using plain tomato sauce.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the pizza.
Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes.

Verdict:
Oh yes, this was good!! The only thing I would change is the sauce. The tomato sauce was a wee bit runny. Next time I would use a pizza sauce. But, other than that, this was good!! Definitely a keeper recipe!!
