Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. To pan fry chicken, add olive oil to a large skillet. Heat to medium-high heat.
Add chicken and cook until lightly browned. Stir in chili powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add onions and bell peppers and cook for another minute or until the vegetables are crispy tender.
(or to grill chicken- season chicken breasts on both sides with chili powder, garlic, and salt. Lightly oil grill grates and grill on high until chicken is fully cooked.
Slice cooked chicken breasts into strips. Cook vegetables in olive oil in a frying pan for about 1 minute). Lightly grease pizza pan and press dough into the pan. Place into the oven and pre-bake crust for about 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and scatter chicken strips over the crust, spoon salsa over the chicken, then toss on sliced bell peppers and onions and top with cheese.
Bake for another 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
