  • 1 red onion
  • 1 chicken breast, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate mole sauce
  • 1 cup queso fresco, crumbled
  • 1/4 cilantro leaves
  • 1 garlic clove
  • olive oil

Directions

To Prep Toppings:

  1. Cut the onion into small slices. Place in pan and toss with olive oil. Roast in a 350 degree oven until nice and caramelized, about 1 hour. Can be done several days ahead.
  2. You can make or buy the mole sauce. I made my own using a quick recipe from Martha Stewart. I used the leftovers for chicken tacos.
  3. Toss chicken with mole sauce.
  4. To make cilantro pesto, place cilantro, garlic and a little salt in a Cuisinart with a little olive oil. Blend and drizzle with more oil until it comes together.

To Assemble Pizza:

  1. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface or directly on a baking sheet (lightly oiled or use cornmeal). Spread out onions on the bottom. Add half of the cheese. Top with chicken and then the remaining cheese.
  2. Bake on the bottom rack of a 500 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with cilantro pesto. This is the best smelling pizza I have ever made so enjoy!
