Make Your Own Chicken Avocado Pizza

Ingredients

Crust

• 1 teaspoon active (or instant) dry yeast
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 ½ cups warm water

Toppings

• 2 chicken breasts
• Mozzarella
• 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
• Green onion
• Red onion
• Cilantro
• Lime juice

Directions

For the crust:

• Sprinkle yeast on top of 1 ½ cups warm water and let sit for a few minutes.
• Combine flour and salt in a bowl and mix. Slowly drizzle in olive oil until combined. Now pour in yeast/water and mix until just combined. The dough should be sticky.
• Lightly coat another mixing bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and form it into a ball. Toss to coat it in olive oil. 
• Cover the bowl with the dough tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 to 2 hours. If you want to set it aside longer, place it in the fridge. Make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, or as much as 3 or 4 days, for best results.
• When you are ready to bake your pizza, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Take half the dough and form a nice, tight, pulled ball. Roll out the pizza with a rolling pin.
• When the dough is nice and thin, lay it on an oiled baking sheet or pizza stone. Drizzle more olive oil on and dough and spread it out with a brush or your fingers. Sprinkle salt lightly on the crust. 

For the toppings:

• Slice 2 chicken breasts in half to make 4 thin pieces. Season with salt and pepper and grill until cooked through. Let them cool and slice them into thin strips.
• Peel and pit avocados. Toss them with lime juice to keep them from browning. 
• Finely slice mozzarella, tomatoes, red onion, green onion, and cilantro.
• Lay the mozzarella over the dough. Arrange chicken and avocado, then sprinkle with diced red onion and green onion. 
• Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
• When it comes out of the oven, sprinkle cilantro, green onions, and tomatoes on top.
