Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 cup green chili peppers, diced (fresh or canned)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

1 package of pre-made pizza dough (or biscuit dough)

Olive oil, for brushing

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      Prepare the Filling:

        In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced green chilies, softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper if using. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

          Prepare the Dough:

            Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. If using biscuit dough, flatten each biscuit slightly with your palms.

              Cut the Dough:

                Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into squares or circles (about 3 inches in diameter) to make individual bite-sized pieces.

                  Assemble the Pizza Bites:

                    Place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each piece of dough. Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket, pinching the edges to seal them tightly. Place each filled pocket on the prepared baking sheet.

                      Brush with Oil:

                        Lightly brush the tops of each pizza bite with olive oil to promote a golden color and crispiness.

                          Bake in the Oven:

                            Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

                              Garnish and Serve:

                                Once out of the oven, allow the pizza bites to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro on top. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
