Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 1 pound) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 cup, shredded Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced Sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 cups, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly dust a clean surface with cornmeal or flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the crust as the base layer.
Evenly distribute the shredded cooked chicken and sliced sun-dried tomatoes across the pizza.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over everything.
Season the pizza lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
