Notes
✔️ Preheating your pizza stone or baking sheet will give you a crispy crust every time.
✔️ Use low moisture mozzarella to prevent the pizza from becoming watery.
✔️ Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your heat preference. Remove the seeds for less spice.
✔️ Leftover chicken works perfectly for this recipe. Rotisserie chicken is also a great option.
