Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sautΓ© until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Season with ground black pepper, oregano, and basil, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer later.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
Spread the salt-free tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the cooked chicken slices over the cheese, followed by slices of bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.
Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Use the parchment paper to transfer the prepared pizza onto the hot surface.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, low-sodium homemade chicken pizza!
