Copycat Domino's Chicken Taco Pizza Recipe

Have you ever dreamed about making one of Domino's delicious pizzas in the comfort of your own home? Well, we're happy to tell you that your dream can be a reality. According to the website, Domino's pizza got its start back in 1960 with just one location, and it was initially named DomiNick's. Two brothers, Tom and James, purchased the single location pizza spot for $500 and renamed it "Domino's" five years later. Currently, the pizza giant boasts more than 5,600 locations, and it is one of the go-to spots for pizza.

She also shares in our sentiments of "who doesn't love Dominos?" The recipe yields two pizzas, and trust us when we tell you that the prep time is worth it. Keep scrolling to find out how to make a copycat Domino's chicken taco recipe that is absolutely to-die-for.

All you need for this recipe is one packet of active dry yeast, some sugar, warm water, and olive oil. You will also want to grab salt, all-purpose flour, and shredded provolone. "Yes, Domino's uses shredded provolone," Carli shares. "You could substitute shredded mozzarella if you like that."

To complete the list, you just need a few chicken breasts, taco seasoning, Roma tomatoes, a green bell pepper, yellow onion, and a few slices of American cheese. Now let's get started!

The first thing you will want to do is to turn the oven up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which will come in handy in just a few minutes. Grab a mixing bowl (preferably one for a stand mixer) and add the yeast, sugar, and water. Place it under the mixer and use the paddle attachment to combine. Let the mix sit for about 5 minutes until some bubbles begin forming.

After that, you can add the olive oil, salt, and flour and mix again until everything is well combined. Switch to the dough hook and knead until the dough isn't sticky. This will take about 8 minutes.

Once the dough has lost its stickiness, you can remove it from the stand mixer. Now, place it in a large bowl that has been prepped with a tablespoon of olive oil. Give the dough a few turns with your hands, so it is covered in the olive oil. Cover the bowl with a lid and let it sit for at least two hours, which should give the dough enough time to rise. In the meantime, you can begin a few other steps so you'll be ready to throw together the pizza when the dough is done.

While the dough is rising, get out your favorite cast iron skillet and put it on the stove on medium-high heat. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil and once it gets hot, throw in your chicken breasts. Cook each side of the chicken for about four minutes, so they get a good sear. Then, put the chicken in your 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10 minutes in the cast iron pan, so it cooks all the way through. Once it's out, dice it and set it aside.

Once you finish the chicken in the oven and the dough has finished rising, you can kick up the oven heat to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. After the dough has set for two hours, remove it and cut it into two equal pieces — one for each pizza. Place each piece on a separate plate and cover with a dish towel for about 15 minutes.

When the 15 minutes is up, roll each into a 12-inch circle, place it on a baking sheet (or pizza stone), and move on to the next step.

Now, it's time for the fun part! Cover each pizza with the copycat chicken taco pizza toppings. As a base, you'll start with the shredded provolone cheese and then add the diced chicken breast. Then, go ahead and add a tablespoon of taco seasoning, diced tomato, diced bell pepper, diced white onion, and chopped white American cheese to each pizza. Now, you're ready to get those pizzas in the oven!

Set your timer for about 12 minutes and pop the pizzas in the oven. When you take them out, they should look like they were just delivered by Domino's themselves. Each of the pizzas can be cut with a pizza cutter into a few pieces per pizza. Feel free to top with crushed red pepper or anything else you like on your pizza. It's also okay to dip it in a ranch because who doesn't love ranch on anything!
