- Spread ¼ cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the top of each stack.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly over the sauce on each stack.
- Bake the assembled pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Tip: For extra browning, broil for the final 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven.
- Top each pizza evenly with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions.
- Let the pizzas cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.

Yes, the flavor is spot-on—savory, slightly spicy, and utterly satisfying. Serve it sliced into quarters for easy sharing, or drizzle with a little sour cream or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– Pizza dough – 1 lb
– Olive oil – 2 tbsp
– Chicken breast – 1 lb
– Lime – 2
– Mozzarella cheese – 2 cups
– Red onion – ½ cup
– Cilantro – ¼ cup
– Salt – 1 tsp
– Black pepper – ½ tsp
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up for 30 minutes.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle, aiming for an even thickness to ensure crispy edges.
3. Brush the dough with 1 tbsp of olive oil, coating it lightly to prevent sogginess and add flavor.
4. Dice the chicken breast into ½-inch pieces and season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper.
5. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes until no pink remains and it’s golden brown.
6. Zest and juice both limes, reserving the zest for later and mixing the juice with the cooked chicken to infuse tanginess immediately off the heat.
7. Spread 1½ cups mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border for the crust.
8. Top with the lime-marinated chicken, thinly sliced red onion, and the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
9. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes to set the toppings, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro and the reserved lime zest for a fresh finish.
Juicy chicken and zesty lime meld into a vibrant, tangy topping that pops against the creamy mozzarella and crisp crust. Serve it hot with extra lime wedges for squeezing, or slice it thin for a fun appetizer at your next gathering—either way, it’s a flavor-packed twist on pizza night that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.
