Ingredients: 11 cleaned chicken breast kept whole; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper; 1/2 tsp ancho chili powder; 1/2 tsp cumin powder; 1/2 tsp onion powder; 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 1/2 tsp thyme; salt and pepper to taste; 1 tsp olive oil; 2 tbsp sweetcorn; 1 tbsp semolina flour; 1 tbsp pizza sauce; 1/4 red onion sliced; 2 green chilis sliced; 60 g fresh mozzarella; a few sprigs of coriander

Instructions

Chicken marinade

Add all of the ingredients for the marinade to the chicken making sure the chicken is evenly covered.
Cover and leave to marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a frying pan over a medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked and has a slight char.
Allow to cool before assembling the pizza to make sure you don't burn your fingers. Slice the chicken into strips.

Pizza assembly

Heat a dry pan to a medium heat. Add the sweetcorn and dry fry for a couple of minutes until the corn dries out and catches a little.

This will reduce moisture on the pizza and add a charred flavour.
Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC. Remove a pizza dough ball from the fridge. Sprinkle a little semolina flour on a pizza shovel.

If using frozen dough make sure it is thoroughly defrsted before using. Its best to keep the dough in the fridge for ease of use.
Stretch the pizza dough so that it makes a rough circle on the pizza shovel.
Add 1 tbsp of pizza sauce to the pizza dough using the back of the spoon to evenly spread the sauce.

Be gentle otherwise the dough will rip.
Sprinkle the corn, red onion and green chili over the pizza base.
Slice the chicken breast and arrange the slices of chicken over the pizza base.
Slice or rip the mozzarella into thin pieces and arrange over the pizza base.
Slide the pizza into the oven using a jerking motion.
Cook for approximately 11 minutes until the base has a crunch and the cheese has caught a little.
Serve hot from the oven.
