Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Marinate the chicken breast in this mixture for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice it into thin strips.
For the garlic sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic clove and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for 3 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough to it.
Spread the garlic sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked chicken slices, spinach leaves, and cherry tomatoes. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your delicious garlic chicken pizza!
