Ingredients

1 premade pizza dough
corn meal for dusting
1/2 cup enchilada sauce
1/4 cup fire roasted diced green chiles
12 ounces precooked chicken chopped (great way to use left overs)
8 ounces Colby Jack cheese shredded
1/2 small red onion sliced
1 Roma tomato sliced
1/2 green bell pepper sliced
1/2 cup sour cream poured into a squeeze bottle

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium high heat.
Roll pizza into a 12" round. Sprinkle pizza stone with corn meal. Place pizza on top of stone. *See Cook's Note if you do not have a pizza stone, or wish to bake pizza in oven.
Spoon enchilada sauce over pizza, leaving ½" edge around pizza. Sprinkle chiles, chicken and cheese evenly over pizza. Add onions, peppers and tomatoes on top of the cheese.
Place pizza on preheated grill. Close cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Carefully remove pizza from grill, drizzle sour cream over top.
Slice and serve!

Notes

OVEN DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Assemble pizza on a pizza pan or cookie sheet dusted with corn meal. Bake for 8-12 minutes, until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
To grill without a pizza stone: Place rolled out uncooked pizza dough on grill for 3 minutes, cook with lid closed until golden brown. Remove from grill and flip so cooked size is facing up. Top pizza according to recipe. Place pizza back on grill and cook for 3-5 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
