Chipotle Chicken Pizza

     Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce on pizza. I have no idea why I haven't heard of this recipe yet, or why I hadn't thought of it myself already.... it's awesome.

     The chipotle peppers and adobo sauce have such a wonderful, spicy flavor that's pretty unique. It's a great way to change up the usual buffalo chicken pizza, and try something new. I promise you won't be disappointed!

       If you are gluten free, be careful of what kind of can of peppers you get, because some of them have wheat in them (why? I don't know... how frustrating!) Some brands that are listed to be gluten free are La Costena, Goya, Art of Chipotle, Roland and Empacadora San Marcos.

      Once again, I recommend the gluten free Portland Pie dough, or I have also used an Udi's precooked crust that is really really good!

(The dough in the pictures is not gluten free, sadly. I made it for my boyfriend and that's all he had!)

The recipe is very basic, and any alterations to your taste are recommended! The main point is that chipotle peppers in adobo sauce on pizza is delicious! So try it out next time you're making one :)
