  5. Top each pizza with a portion of the sliced white and Bermuda onions.
  6. Add the sliced cooked chicken breasts evenly over the cheese and onions.
  7. Scatter the chopped jalapeno peppers over the top of each pizza.
  8. Bake at 450ðF (232ðC) for 10-12 minutes, or at 700ðF for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Note

Chicken Preparation: Ensure chicken breasts are fully cooked before adding to the pizza. You can grill, bake, or pan-sear them beforehand, then slice thinly.

Oven Temperature: Standard home ovens typically max out at 500-550ðF. Baking at 450ðF for 10-12 minutes works well. If using a wood-fired oven or pizza oven capable of 700ðF, reduce baking time to 3-4 minutes to prevent burning.

Cheese Blend: The combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack provides a nice balance of meltiness, sharpness, and creaminess. Feel free to adjust ratios based on preference.

Spice Level: Jalapenos add heat. For milder pizzas, remove seeds and membranes from jalapenos before chopping. For extra heat, leave them in.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for 10 minutes to restore crispness.
