Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, poached and shredded tips & tricks
  • 1 tbsp. Jamaican Jerk seasoning see Recipe
  • 2 12-inch green onion pizza doughs see Recipe
  • 1 cup Caribbean BBQ sauce, or as needed and divided see Recipe
  • 1 large habañero pepper, seeded, finely chopped and divided Footnote
  • 1 can (12 oz./341 ml.) corn kernels, drained and divided
  • 32 large strips red pepper, divided

  • 2 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  • Add Jamaican Jerk seasoning to shredded chicken and stir to coat; set aside.
  • Spread BBQ sauce evenly on the two pizzas, leaving an inch around the edges. Divide chicken mixture between the pizzas.
  • Wearing gloves, add habañero pepper before adding corn kernels. Place strips of red and poblano peppers evenly on each pizza. Add 1 cup of each cheese per pizza.
  • Transfer the pies to a 500ºF/260ºC preheated oven and bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheeses are melted.

Notes

Footnote: I highly suggest wearing a glove when handling habañero peppers.
