Portuguese Chorizo Pizza Recipes

PORTUGUESE CHORIZO PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Pull apart and gently stretch pizza dough into 6 inch rounds. (Making 2 pizzas.)
• 2. Put each 6 inch round of pizza dough on a separate greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Pat each out to a 10 to 12 inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
• 3. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on top of each round, leaving about a 1 inch border. Arrange the chorizo on top of the sauce and top with a thin layer of the cheese.
• 4. Bake the pizzas until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly - approx. 20 minutes., switching the pans from top to bottom after about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

CHICKEN AND CHOURICO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a pizza pan with olive oil and flour.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Dust a flat working surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough out to the size of your pizza pan. Place dough on the prepared pan.
• Stir the tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; spread evenly over the surface of the dough. Scatter, in order, the chicken, chourico, red onion, banana peppers, pizza cheese, and Parmesan over the tomato sauce mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until the cheese is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Switch the oven setting to broil and cook another 5 minutes.
