Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, and then shred or cut it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to incorporate the flavor.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly in the creamy sauce.
Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color.
Spread the creamy chicken topping evenly over your prepared pizza dough, adding any additional toppings you like before baking your pizza.
