Chicken Pizza |
After discovering delicious chicken pizza on a family beach trip, we decided to create it at home. We love this recipe because it’s so different from traditional pizza – not a tomato in sight. Now we can all enjoy it more than once a year! Serves 12 to 14
Ingredients
- 2 packages frozen pizza dough (or make your own)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into strips
- 1 red onion, sliced vertically
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, grilled and diced
- 6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Roll the pizza dough out and fit onto two 15-inch pizza pans. Pizza doesn’t have to be round! I make this pizza dough into a rectangle and cut it into squares to serve.
3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of garlic on each pizza crust, followed by ½ cup each of the mozzarella cheese and ½ of the Cheddar cheese. Scatter half of the bell pepper, sliced onion, chicken, and bacon on top of the cheeses. Sprinkle another ½ mozzarella cheese and ½ cup Cheddar cheese over each pizza and drizzle each pizza with 1 tablespoon more of olive oil.
4. Bake the pizzas for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly browned. Slice each pizza into 8 pieces.
