Add the 1/2 teaspoon of crushed peppercorns to the dry mix. Form and place in pizza pan to rise. While the pizza crust is rising, combine the chicken and 1/4 cup of the chopped red onion along with the white wine vinegar, water, chicken soup base mix, crushed garlic peppercorn blend, and garlic liquid spice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let stand about ten minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet, and add the coated chicken pieces. Cook and stir until done, about three minutes. Mix the cornstarch and water together and stir into the chicken mixture. Heat and stir until thickened and bubbly. Spoon this mixture evenly on top of the pizza crust. Sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese, chopped green pepper, and the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped red onions. Bake the pizza at 400 F for about twelve minutes. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top, and bake about two minutes longer until the crust is golden brown. Makes eight servings.

This provides just enough warmth to get a good result. For the coarsely crushed peppercorns (second ingredient) - choose a blend of black, white, and green peppercorns for a delicious treat. While some folks may not be able to tell a difference in the flavor of different color peppercorns, there are subtle differences that will enhance the taste of the finished pizza. The garlic liquid spice is usually available in gourmet food stores or online from gourmet food ingredient catalogs. If you can find one, get an "air bake" type pizza pan. These do a great job browning the crust, and minimize the chance of the crust burning.
