Disclaimer: I don't actually measure ingredients when I cook...

• Grilled Cajun chicken thighs - 2 lbs

• Mozzarella cheese - 1/2 lbs
• Dubliner cheese - 1/2 lbs
• Italian chopped tomatoes - 1/2 cup
• (optional) Mushrooms - 1 cup

Directions ​

• Mix yeast with room temp 1/2 cup water (you can add a sprinkle of sugar to help) and let stand for about 5 min
• Mix yeast mixture, 1 cup water, and oil with dough until you can make a ball with it. (Add water/flour as needed)
• Cut dough ball into 2 halves and place in quart Ziploc bags. (I usually put one in the freezer for the next week)
• Let dough rise for 2-4 hours (you should notice that it will expand to fill the whole bag)
• Grill chicken thighs on low setting until cooked thoroughly
• Roll your dough ball to 15in diameter with rolling pin
• Place oil or pepperonis on the bottom of the pan for non-stick effect
• Fold edges of the dough over cheese to get stuffed crust
• Cook dough at 325F for about 10 min (just enough to solidify it
• Add chicken, mushrooms, and tomatoes mixed and spread evenly
• Add thinly sliced cheese over the top of mixture
• Place pepperonis on cheese
• Cook at 325F for about 20-25 min
• Remove from heat and let rest for about 15min

Reflection ​

This pizza is amazing! Tons of flavor in every bite. You won't want to put it down. It really is such a simple pizza to make as well. This one will be my goto meal when I do not know what else to cook!
