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.
