Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 inches in diameter) pizza dough
- 1 medium-sized piece chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups blue cheese crumbles
- 2 cups arugula
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface, leaving a border for the crust.
Top the pizza with the grilled chicken slices and blue cheese crumbles.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Once out of the oven, scatter the arugula over the pizza and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Slice and serve immediately.
