Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made crust Gluten-free pizza crust
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 piece (approximately 200g) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breast in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Layer the sautéed garlic over the tomato sauce.
Distribute the sliced chicken evenly over the sauced crust.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the pizza, followed by the Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.
