    Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pizza
    by: California Pizza Kitchen

    Makes one 13-inch pizza or two 9-inch pizzas

    The complex flavors of a traditional Jamaican jerk seasoning are sweet, hot, and tangy all at once. This seasoning lends itself perfectly to pizza, both as a rub for the chicken and as a seasoning for the sauce. If you're trying to identify that unusual flavor in the blend, it's probably allspice, which is absolutely indispensable.


    SHOPPING/PANTRY/REFRIGERATOR LIST HOW MUCH YOU'LL NEED

    • Traditional or Honey-Wheat Pizza Dough 1 pound

    • Caribbean Sauce (recipe follows) Scant 1?2 cup

    • Mozzarella cheese 7 ounces, grated (21?3 cup)

    • Roasted red and yellow peppers 1 of each color

    • Onion 1?2 small, thinly sliced

    • Bacon (optional) 2 strips, cooked and chopped

    • Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken 2 breasts, cut into 1?2-inch pieces

    • Scallions (green onions) 2, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts only)

    PREPARATION
    1. Place a seasoned (or oiled) pizza stone in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450° F, at least 30 minutes.

    2. Roll and shape the dough into one 13-inch or two 9-inch circles and place on a floured pizza peel (see page 18 for instructions on handling and shaping pizza dough). If you are more comfortable working with one piece of dough at a time, you can shape and dress the second piece while the first is in the oven. If making 2 pizzas, split all the topping ingredients in half.

    3. Spread the cooled Caribbean Sauce to within 1 inch of the outer edge of the dough. Set aside 1?3 cup of mozzarella and sprinkle the rest to within 1?2 inch of the edge of the dough. Distribute the pepper pieces over the cheese. Separate the onion rings and place them over the peppers, followed by the bacon (if desired) and chicken. Sprinkle the
    remaining mozzarella over the pizza.

    4. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden
    brown and the cheese at the center is melted and bubbly. Slice. Garnish with scallions and serve.
