Chicken Yassa Pizza Recipe
1 Pizza
Dough
1 C Mozzarella
Yassa Marinade
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
¾ large onion -- thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ of fresh habanero pepper, finely minced plus 1 habanero pepper
1 Tbsp cup plus 1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 chicken breast -- cut in serving pieces
2 Tbsp cup pimiento-stuffed olives
1 carrot, scraped and -- thinly sliced
1 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
Hot chili pepper, to taste
Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a glass or other non-reactive
bowl and marinade your chicken breast over night, or at least a few
hours.
Place marinated chicken in a sauce pan or cast iron dutch oven and
cook the chicken and marinade in the oven at 350°F until cooked
(about 15-25 minutes).
Once chicken is done, Form the dough into the desired shape and put
half of the olive oil on the dough. Cook the dough (untopped) on 415°F
for approximately 5-7 minutes or until it starts to brown slightly.
Remove pizza from the oven and use the Yassa Sauce as the sauce for
the pizza (use sparingly as it may be a bit runny) and then add the
chicken. Top with your favorite African cheese, or mozzarella will work
just fine.
Cook at 415°F for 7-10 minutes or until cheese starts to brown.
Remove from the oven and let sit for approximately 2-4 minutes. Dig
in!
