Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium crust Protein-rich pizza crust (store-bought or homemade, e.g., made from chickpea flour or high-protein flour)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh sweet corn kernels (from about 1-2 ears of corn)
- 1 cup Grilled chicken breast, shredded (or plant-based chicken alternative for vegetarians)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese (use high-protein ricotta or plant-based ricotta for vegan option)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (or vegan mozzarella for plant-based option)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
If needed, precook your high-protein pizza crust according to its instructions (some store-bought options need to be par-baked).
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the crust, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
Top the pizza with the shredded grilled chicken, sweet corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
Drizzle the garlic-infused olive oil over the top of the pizza and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
Transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pizza before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your High Protein Summer Sweet Corn Pizza!
