My easy recipe for Chicken and Cilantro Pizza is sure to be a new family favorite pizza recipe. A pre-made crust is topped with salsa, cooked seasoned and diced chicken, Monterey jack cheese, and of course cilantro.

Thin crust pizza loaded with chicken and cilantro on a grill.

I hosted a House Party sponsored by BOBOLI® pizza crust. This Chicken and Cilantro Pizza was my favorite pizza (ok, tied with the Honey Mustard Chicken Pizza). I used my homemade salsa to give it my own personal touch.

Ingredients

  • 12 inch BOBOLI® Thin Pizza Crust
  • Chicken Breast
  • Salsa
  • Cheese
  • Cilantro
  • Chilies
  • Olive OIl
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Avocado

Directions

  • Preheat grill for 10-15 minutes.
  • Brush a dash of olive oil on each side of the crust. Grill crust 2-4 minutes on each side. Remove from grill.
  • While the pizza crust is cooking; in a bowl, mix cooked chicken, cilantro, lime juice, chilies, salt and pepper.
  • Take grilled pizza crust, and spread salsa on crust and add cheese. Top with chicken and cilantro mixture.
  • Place crust back on grill to warm for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Slice pizza, and add sliced avocado to garnish pizza. Enjoy

Here are a few of my favorite substitutions when making cilantro pizza.
