Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 250g) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza dough's surface. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly across the pizza and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Distribute the sliced chicken, red bell pepper, and red onion over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the top.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
