Add oil in a pan.Cut the chicken breasts into very small pieces and put them in the oil. Fry it for 5 to 10 minutes. Add capsicum and onions into it. Add sweet corn into it and fry for few more minutes. Then add green chilli, salt, black pepper.

Divide the pizza base dough into 3 pieces. Take a piece and make a ball. Roll it, try to make it thin from the centre and little bit thick from the edges. Make marks with fork in the centre. Layer it with pizza sauce (sauce described above). Then layer it with pizza topping. Put tomato slices, onion slices and olives on it. Sprinkle cheese on it and put it into the oven (250 degrees) for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot.

Note: I prefer rolling pizza base with hands instead of roller. Just make a ball and stretch it by hands (thin from the middle and thick from the edges.
