Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 ounces Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Spread the sautéed garlic and olive oil mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.
Dollop Boursin cheese across the dough, spreading it slightly with a spoon.
Evenly distribute the sliced chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
While the pizza bakes, toss the fresh arugula in a bowl with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with the arugula and halved cherry tomatoes.
Slice and serve immediately for a delicious, satisfying meal.
