Caribbean Jerk Chicken Pizza
Pizza! That finger food everyone enjoys! Besides the bragging rights, what’s fun about making it from scratch is you can play with the sauces and toppings to suit your personal tastes. Over the years, I’ve shared many homemade pizza recipes that I’ve created; from Sombrero, Meat Lovers, Quattro Formaggi to Seafood, Hawaiian, Greek, Pulled Pork and many more. Here’s another one to add to this yummy list… my Caribbean Jerk Chicken Pizza!
This pie is absolutely delicious! It’s vibrant and packed with flavors! It’s a little zippy but like most recipes, you can always dismiss the habañero pepper and adjust it to your liking. It’s easy to make and the results are incredible!
I use many other recipes to achieve this amazing Caribbean Jerk Chicken Pizza and this is the reason why I didn’t post it until now…
First, I use my kitchen trick when it comes to poaching and shredding the chicken. Then I add my Jamaican Jerk Seasoning… it’s a great spice blend to have in your cupboard. To assemble the pizza, I use my Green Onion Pizza Dough but as I mentioned in the video, it’s interchangeable with my other dough recipes; Easy-Cheesy or Rustic Italian. Another wonderful ingredient that goes on it is my Caribbean BBQ Sauce. That sauce is packed with beautiful flavor and gives just the right flare to this pie.
One ingredient that Caribbean cuisine doesn’t really care about is cheese but I DO! Any respectable pizza needs some cheese and I’m right on board with it – did I ever tell you what my nickname is… It’s Minnie Mouse, lol! I use both sharp white and yellow cheese because of the appearance of the pie but if you prefer, simply use one or the other… it won’t really matter in flavor.
This Caribbean Jerk Chicken Pizza has the tastes and colors of the islands! If you want an original recipe to enjoy on pizza night, this is certainly one to make.
Bon Appétit!
