Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack (12-16 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 pieces (medium-sized, shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 2 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 5 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and position the rack in the center.
Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared pan, stretching it to an even thickness. Lightly brush the surface of the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Mix well to coat the chicken.
Distribute the seasoned chicken evenly over the pizza sauce, ensuring every slice will have a good amount of toppings.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the chicken for added crunch.
Top the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese, covering the chicken and breadcrumbs generously.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the mozzarella layer.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Slice into equal portions and serve hot. Enjoy your Chicken Parmesan Pizza!
