In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions until they start to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the veggies evenly with the spices. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove crust from oven and evenly spread the cooked chicken over the dough. Top with the sautéed bell peppers and onions mixture.
-
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and veggies evenly.
-
Place pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
-
Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and sliced jalapeños if desired.
