Ingredients

Directions

  1. Move oven rack to the lowest position and preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (246ðC).
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet and rotate to coat the bottom.
  5. Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.
  6. Add the sliced green bell pepper and onion to the skillet.
  7. Cook and stir the vegetables with the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of salsa or picante sauce. Set aside.
  9. Grease a cookie sheet or 12-inch pizza pan.
  10. In a bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of biscuit baking mix with 1/3 cup of hot water.
  11. Beat the dough vigorously for about 20 strokes to combine.
  12. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with baking mix or flour.
  13. Knead the dough about 60 times until it is smooth and no longer sticky.
  14. Using hands dusted with flour or baking mix, press the dough into a 13-inch circle on the prepared pan.
  15. Pinch the edge of the dough to form a 1/2-inch rim.
  16. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the crust.
  17. Top the cheese with the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  18. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the topping.
  19. Bake at 475 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
