An iron skillet must be the premier food-prep tool. It is indestructible and you can prepare so many recipes with it on the stove, under the broiler, and in the oven. You can even use them over an open flame under the stars.
Chēbē dough is just as versatile! It can be baked, fried, boiled and grilled. So, it’s a perfect companion to the iron skillet. Try this version of a Chēbē skillet pizza, or use the topping of your preference. Either way, the result will be a pizza that you are going to enjoy making and eating. Have fun!
- 1 package (7.5 oz) Chebe Pizza Crust Mix or other savory Chebe variety

Heat your iron skillet on medium high. Add a Tbsp of olive oil or butter. Sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 425F. Prepare the dough according to package instructions, using 2 oz. of shredded Parmesan (optional).

Press the dough into the skillet with ½” of it up the sides of the pan. Poke the surface of the dough with the tines of a fork to prevent bubbling of the dough in the oven. Brush the dough with olive oil and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven.

Top with the sautéed onions, garlic & mushrooms, then with the chicken, cheeses, pepper, tomatoes, olives and oregano. Return to the oven for 10 minutes or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove from the oven and let rest 5 or 10 minutes, slice and enjoy.
Makes 2-10” pizzas or 1-14” pizza.
If you have a 9 or 10 inch skillet, there will be enough dough for two, so after you’ve prepared the dough, split it in half and make your second pizza immediately after the first, or use the dough for breadsticks, rolls, etc.
If you have a 14 or 15 inch skillet, the dough is enough for one full pizza.
You can also shape any left over dough and freeze it for another day.
