This is an awesome take on a great South-of-the-Border pizza. It’s got chicken, salsa, and pepper jack cheese on a nice thin buttery crust… what could go wrong…
I’ve been working on this for an event this weekend, and I played about with it for several days, before I settled on the idea of making it in a tart pan.
So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How to Make South-of-the-Border Chicken Pizza Tart
- PREP/PREPARE
- Gather your ingredients.
- Season the chicken breast with a bit of salt and pepper, and sauté in some butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Remove from the pan, shred and reserve.
- Add the melted butter to the bottom of the tart pan.
- Place in the refrigerator and allow it to cool, about 1 hour.
- Place a rack in middle position, and preheat the oven to 475 (245c).
- Remove the tart pan from the fridge, and, place the pizza crust on the bottom of the pan.
- Chef’s Tip: If you want the crust a bit crisper (I do) prebake the crust for about 5 minutes, in the preheated oven.
- Add the salsa, and spread out evenly.
- Add the shredded chicken.
- Add the two cheeses.
- Top with the black olives.
- Place in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 12 - 14 minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Cut into slices, and serve while still nice and toasty warm. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
