African Pizza: Spicy Chicken Pizza with Pumpkin Fufu Crust
Ingredients for the African Spicy Chicken Pizza
2 chicken breasts, diced
2 tablespoons palm oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced red onions
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions for the African Spicy Chicken Pizza Toppings
In a large skillet, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Add the diced chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides.
Sprinkle the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Spread the spicy chicken mixture evenly over the pre-baked pumpkin fufu crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
Arrange the sliced red onions and bell peppers on top of the cheese. Bake the assembled pizza in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for added flavor and color, if desired. Slice and serve your Spicy Chicken Pizza with Pumpkin Fufu Crust.
What is fufu?
Fufu is a traditional African staple made from starchy ingredients like cassava or yams, mashed to a smooth, dough-like consistency. Its dense and chewy texture makes for a unique and hearty pizza crust, providing a deliciously satisfying base that complements any toppings.
