    A southwest take on pizza, with chicken and roasted red and Anaheim chili pepper sauce to add that perfect ‘heat.’ Good way to use up rotisserie chicken. Save time on serving day, by preparing and refrigerating roasted pepper sauce one or more days in advance. Lighten recipe by using thin Italian bread shell and non or reduced fat cheese and sour cream. Recipe inspired by one from Better Homes and Gardens Recipe Center.

    Ingredients

    • FOR SAUCE (Sauce may be prepared and stored covered in fridge for up to 10 days. In a time-bind I have also substituted bottled roasted red peppers and canned green chilies to make the sauce, cutting the cook time by 20 minutes.)
    • 2 large red peppers
    • 1 large Anaheim chili pepper
    • 1 clove garlic, cut up
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon crushed cumin seed
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • FOR PIZZA
    • 1 12-inch Italian bread shell, like Boboli (or 3 8-inch size)
    • 6 ounces coarsely shredded rotisserie chicken (about 2 cups)
    • 1/3 cup sliced green onion
    • 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar jack cheese (3 ounces)
    • 1/3 cup dairy sour cream
    • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
    • 1 avocado, halved, seeded and sliced
    • 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with heavy duty foil and lightly oil or spray it.
    2. Cut red peppers and Anaheim pepper in half lengthwise and remove membranes and seeds,
    3. Place pepper halves cut side down on prepared foil-lined baking pan and roast for 20 minutes or until skins are blistered.
    4. Remove from oven and carefully fold foil in around peppers to wrap; steam or sweat them for 10 minutes. Peel and discard pepper skins. Coarsely chop peppers.
    5. In food processor, combine chopped peppers, garlic, salt, cumin seed and oil. Cover and process until fairly smooth.
    6. Place bread shell(s) on pizza pan; spread with red pepper sauce. Bake 5 minutes.
    7. Top with chicken, green onion and cheese. Bake 5 minutes more.
    8. To serve, top with sour cream, avocado slices, cilantro and jalapeno pepper slices.
    9. Yield: 6 main dish servings.
