Ingredients:
- One 30 cm (12 in) pizza crust, ready to bake

- 125 mL (1/2 cup) red pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 6 mm (1/4 in) strips
Optional:

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 225°C (450° F) with baking rack in the middle of the oven.
- Lightly brush or spray olive oil on pizza crust.
- Spread tomato sauce on pizza crust up to 2.5 cm (1 in) from the edge. Sprinkle 125 mL (1/2 cup) of shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Add the roasted chicken and vegetables over the cheese and top with the remaining 125 mL (1/2 cup) of mozzarella. Sprinkle on the oregano (optional).
