Chicken Caesar Pizza

Sautéed Spicy Chicken:
1 1/4 pounds skinned and bones uncooked chicken, cut into cubes to make 4 cups
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
3 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt
1/2 cup Caesar Vinaigrette (see "Sauces & Dressings")
2 tablespoons Chili Oil (see "Sauces & Dressings")
1/4 cup Oven Dried Tomatoes (see "Sauces & Dressings")
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
10 ounces romaine lettuce, cut into strips (see "Cooking Tips")
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough: make in bread machine dough cycle.
1 package yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon honey
3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cool water
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch salt

1. Several hours ahead or the night before, prepare the Whole Wheat Pizza Dough.
2. At least 11/2 hours before making the pizzas, start to prepare the Sautéed Spicy Chicken: Arrange the cubed chicken in a shallow medium bowl and toss with the 1/2 cup olive oil, the lime juice, jalapeños, garlic, and cilantro. Season with salt, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Then, in a skillet or sauté pan large enough to hold the chicken comfortably in a single layer, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the marinade. Sauté the chicken just long enough to brown the pieces on all sides. Do not overcook. Remove from the skillet with the slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Make the Caesar Vinaigrette.
4. Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F.
5. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out each of the balls of dough into an 8-inch circle. Brush each of the circles with the Chili Oil and start to layer, dividing the ingredients among the 4 pizzas. Start with the tomatoes, the herbs, and chicken.
6. Transfer the pizzas to the pizza stone and bake until the pizza crusts are nicely browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
7. Toss the lettuce with the Caesar Vinaigrette and season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove the pizzas from the oven, arrange the lettuce on each of the pizzas. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
