Ingredients

• 2 rolls croissant dough
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 package chicken-flavored taco seasoning
• 1 can refried beans
• mozzarella cheese
• cheddar cheese

Additional Ingredients (use those you like and leave out the rest)

• green leaf lettuce, chopped
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• olives, sliced
• 1 can black beans, drained
• salsa
• sour cream
• tortilla chips
• guacamole
• cilantro, chopped

Directions

1. Roll out croissant dough over a round pizza baking sheet. Patch together pieces to make a circle. Crush tortilla chips and press evenly into the surface of dough without flattening dough (chips will add strength to the dough so that it doesn't crumble like traditional croissant rolls). Bake according to package directions, then remove from oven.
2. Meanwhile, cook chicken in a pot of boiling water until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken and drain remaining water from pot. Shred chicken with a fork into small pieces. Return chicken to pot and add taco seasoning and water until well blended.
3. Warm refried beans and spread evenly over dough. Add chicken mixture on top of beans. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Return to oven until cheese is melted.
4. Meanwhile, cut and prepare any pizza toppings you wish to use. Add to the top of the pizza just before serving. As an alternative, place each topping in a separate container and allow each person to make their own pizza. Enjoy!
