CHICKEN - SOUTH OF THE BORDER
I found this recipe in an issue of Good Housekeeping back in the early 80's,when Southwestern/Mexican recipes were hard to come by - at least here in Wisconsin . It's like a Southwestern version of Chicken Parmesan. I used to use Pace Picante on it, but you can adjust it with any salsa or heat level you prefer. I also added the green chiles because I love them! Also would accompany this chicken with home-made Mexican rice, and a picante-based vegetable "stew."

Tips:
- Prepare the Dough in Advance: If you're short on time, consider making the dough ahead of time and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the pizza tart.
- Use a Food Processor to Make the Dough: If you have a food processor, use it to make the dough. This will make the process much quicker and easier.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: When mixing the dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your pizza tart will taste. This is especially true for the salsa, chicken, and cheese.
- Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: Feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavors. You can add different types of cheese, vegetables, or even meat to your pizza tart.
