DIRECTIONS

THE DOUGH:
In a large bowl mix the yeast, honey and water then stir in the flour, salt, and 1 TBSP of the oil until well combined and a dough is formed.
Knead the dough by hand in the bowl until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball then drizzle with 1 tsp of olive and turn the dough ball to coat in the oil.
Loosely cover the bowl and set aside to rise for about 30 minutes.
THE ENCHILADA SAUCE:
Heat the oil in a medium size sauce pan over medium heat.
Stir in the flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic, oregano, and salt then cook while stirring until no white flour remains, about 1 minute.
Slowly pour in the water while whisking and bring to a boil
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thickened.
Turn off heat and set the sauce aside.
TOPPINGS AND ASSEMBLY:
Add the chicken breasts to a medium saucepan then cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cover the pan then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate then use two forks to shred the chicken.
Stir the shredded chicken into the enchilada sauce until combined.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Stretch the dough out onto a large lightly oiled pizza pan or baking sheet.
Spread the chicken sauce mix evenly on the dough then sprinkle on the shredded cheese and top with the sliced jalapenos.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Take the pizza out of the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the sour cream on top of the pizza then slice and serve.
