Best Homemade Pizza Ever! (my opinion)

This is crazy good. We make it a couple of times a month. I usually double the sauce/chicken so there is a lot, and if we don't use it, we'll put it in a quesadilla or something on another day. I also usually cook my chicken in a crockpot and shred it ahead of time because I prefer shredded to chunks of chicken. See instructions here. I just add the cooked chicken to the sauce to heat through before it is done. It also is good to season the bottom of the crust with garlic salt or garlic and red pepper flakes so it hits your tongue first. Feel free to adjust the sauce seasonings to taste...I don't usually measure and like it tangy. I always use extra spice.

Garlic Pepper Chicken Pizza

1 package pizza crust mix (or dough or premade crust- Trader Joe's sells good pre-made dough)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely crushed peppercorns (again, T.J.'s sell a filled pepper grinder for like $1.99)
12 ounces boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (or cooked and shredded)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white or red wine (optional)
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons chicken soup base mix (I use the chicken boullion sticks from Trader Joe's)
1 1/2 teaspoon coarsely crushed garlic peppercorn blend (or pepper and garlic separately)
1 teaspoon garlic liquid spice (or crushed or minced garlic)
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
any other preferred toppings....sliced peppers, spinach, etc.

Make the pizza crust according to package directions. Form and place in pizza pan to rise if needed. While the pizza crust is rising, combine the chicken and 1/4 cup of the chopped red onion along with the white or red wine vinegar, wine, water, chicken soup base mix, crushed garlic peppercorn blend, and garlic liquid spice or minced garlic. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let stand about ten minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet, and add the coated chicken pieces (unless already cooked). Cook and stir until done, about three-five minutes. Mix the cornstarch and water together and stir into the chicken mixture. Heat and stir until thickened and bubbly. Spoon this mixture evenly on top of the pizza crust. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese, and additional toppings, and the remaining ¼ cup of chopped red onions. Bake the pizza at 400 F for about 12-15 minutes.  Serves 8 (unless you love it...and then it will only serve 4 at most)
