Ingredients

Preparation

  • Place the chicken fillets into a tupperware container or dish and coat with the Kankun™ Mexican chipotle sauce, give a good mix in order to ensure the chicken is fully coated and then place into the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once the above has been done, place the pizza stone onto the middle shelf in the oven and turn on your oven to 220 degrees (always place the stone into a cold oven) and heat the stone for around 20 minutes. Whilst the stone is heating up, fry the chicken fillets for around 10/15 minutes in a frying pan over a medium heat.
  • In a small pan add a tablespoon of Kankun™ Poblano Mexican Mole paste and 5 tbps of water, stir through over a medium heat until the paste has dissolved. For this recipe we want a bit of thick  consistency as the mole is going to act as the base sauce on the pizza.
  • Whilst you can make your own pizza dough I am not adverse to cheating and use ready made pizza dough. For this recipe I used chilli pizza dough and combined the two balls of dough together in order to make one large pizza.
  • Roll out your pizza dough on a floured work surface until it is big enough to cover most of the pizza stone. Take the pizza stone from the oven and place the dough on top.  Spread the mole sauce over the base of the pizza and sprinkle with the grated mozzarella.  Top with the chicken fillets, sliced pepper, red onion, jalapeno pepper and mozzarella pearls.  Place the pizza back into the oven and cook for around 10-15 minutes.  Keep your eye on the pizza as sometimes it can cook quicker!  A good sign that it is done is when the mozzarella has fully melted and the edges of the pizza look crispy.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the rocket or pea shoots and if you like it hot add a a good dash of the Kankun™ Mexican habanero sauce then serve.
  • For those who haven’t used a pizza stone before, you must get one, it’s the only way to ensure that you get a truly crisp base to your pizza as the stone ensures an even cook throughout the pizza.

“I have loved Mexican food for years. Back in the day, Mexican food to me was chilli con carne, fajitas and nachos, how naïve was I!.  I got to know Kankun Mexican Sauces, through a social media competition. I used the habanero on my fajitas and the chipotle on my flatbreads, I was hooked, the sauces had so much flavour and ranged from mild to hot, something for everyone!

I got to know better the Mexican cuisine and discovered a whole new world of recipes, who knew there were so many different types of chillies! I made chicken tortilla soup, I had never even heard of this before, let alone esquites (Mexican street corn salad), what’s that!  A new found interest in Mexican food was born, thanks to my friend Rolando Cardenas founder of Kankun Mexican Sauces   and his wonderful sauces.” says Mark.
