Cajun Chicken and Corn Pizza


I am using the same Pizza Dough recipe as my previous bake.  The recipe can be obtain here

(A)  Ingredients for Cajun Chicken Filling:

1 chicken breast (boneless and skinless)

1 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. cayenne powder (add more if you prefer more spicy)

1 tsp. brown sugar

2-3 tbsp. cooking oil

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup canned corn kernels (drained well)


Methods:

  1. Slice the chicken breast in half along the center to make 2 thinner fillets.  
  2. In a bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, oregano, brown sugar and cayenne.  Whisk well.
  3. Toss the chicken into the mixture, coating well.
  4. In a medium skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat.  Cook the chicken for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.  Transfer the cajun chicken to a plate.  Let cool then cut into small cubes and set aside.

(B)  Ingredients for White Pizza Sauce: 

3 tbsp. (43 grams) unsalted butter

3 tbsp.  plain flour

1 cup milk

1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese


Methods:
  1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter.  Add the flour and using a whisk, stir in the flour and cook until the paste-like mixture is lightly browned.
  2. Pour in the milk, and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens.  Turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.
  3. Transfer into two bowls and set aside.  


(C)  Assemble the pizza:
  1. Preheat the oven to 220 degree Celsius.  Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking oil.
  2. Take one portion of the risen dough, toss and shape the dough until it widens into a rough circle.  Place it into the pizza pan, stretching and patting until it takes the shape of the pan. 
  3. Spread half of the pizza sauce all over the dough.  Sprinkle half the cubed chicken on top, followed by half of the corn.  Sprinkle half of the mozzarella.  Spoon the remaining pizza sauce in dollops all over the pizza once again.  Top with remaining chicken, corn and mozzarella.
  4. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until the edges of the dough is lightly golden.  Allow the cooked pizza to rest for a few minutes.
  5. Slice and enjoy!
Time for baking!


Notes:-
  • To freeze the other half of the pizza dough, wrap it in plastic film, then in foil.  Freeze for up to a month.  To use, thaw at room temperature until soft.
  • The ingredients for the pizza filling and the white sauce above are also for two pizzas.  Keep the other half portion in containers in the fridge, if you are not making the second pizza right away.
