MEXICAN CHICKEN PIZZA WITH CORNMEAL CRUST

Mexican Chicken Pizza With Cornmeal Crust image

I found this recipe on the Muir Glen website. I added the carmelized onions and it really brings out the taste of the fire roasted tomatoes. We loved it. I plan on making different pizzas with the cornmeal crust. A taco pizza would be great. A great way to use up leftover chicken.

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (can use butter)
1 onion, thinly sliced (2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
additional cornmeal
2 cups Mexican blend cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained (Muir Glen Organic)
1/2 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, sliced (optional)
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

Heat oil (or butter) in large skillet. Add onions and cook over medium low heat, stirring frequently until onions are golden brown and soft. Stir in 1/2 teaspoons sugar and cook 1-2 minutes more. Set aside.
Heat oven to 450. In medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup of the flour, the sugar, yeast and salt. Stir in warm water and oil. Beat with electric mixer on low 30 seconds. Beat on high about 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal and remaining 3/4 cup flour to make a soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with additional cornmeal. Press dough into 14x10-inch rectangle on cookie sheet; prick with fork. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Spread the onions on crust, then sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with chicken, tomatoes and bell pepper. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown. Sprinkle with cilantro. Add green onion and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
