Chicken pizza is probably one of the most pleasing and satisfying dishes with a delicious flavour, combined with tender chicken with savoury toppings and gooey melted cheese wrapped in a crispy crust. That is surely the best recipe for your low-key night at home or impressing your family and friends when having guests around the house. To start the recipe of chicken pizza, you set your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, you prepare your favourite pizza dough recipe. Or if you do not have time for this, you can also use purchased dough. You stretch out the dough to the thickness desired on a floured surface and then place it on your pizza stone or baking sheet. Boil 1 cup of diced chicken breast. Then saut it in a pan over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Season it with some choice Italian herbs such as oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Set it aside to serve. Spread pizza sauce all over the prepared crust. Spread cooked chicken and shred over some 1 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese. You may even add your favourite veggies, whether bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, for flavour and nutrition. Place it in the oven, which has been preheated for about 12-15 minutes, until the crust has turned golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove it once it is cooked; let it cool off for some time before slicing to be served. This chicken pizza is mouthwatering and may be served with fresh basil or a sprinkle of chilli flakes to twist it.

Ingredients required for Chicken Pizza

  1. 200 gms chicken
  2. 200 gms maida
  3. 2 tbsp cooking oil
  4. 1 capsicum
  5. 200 gms cheese
  6. 1 tsp red chilli powder
  7. 1 tsp salt
  8. 1 onion
  9. 1 tsp sugar
  10. 1 tsp garam masala
  11. 4 tbsp pizza sauce
  12. Yeast

Cooking steps for Chicken Pizza

  1. 1
    Start heating your oven to 200 C or about 392 F.
  2. 2
    This is important because when your pizza is cooked, it will ensure that it cooks evenly and gets that perfect golden crust.
  3. 3
    You can now start preparing the rest of the contents of your pizza while waiting for the oven to get completely heated up.
  4. 4
    In a medium bowl, take 200 gms of all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of instant yeast.
  5. 5
    Dry ingredients will constitute the most basic point of your pizza dough: flavour and structure.
  6. 6
    Mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
  7. 7
    Gradually add the 120 ml of warm water to the flour mix.
  8. 8
    Water should not be hot but warm because hot water may kill the yeast.
  9. 9
    Add also 2 Tbsp of oil into the mix.
  10. 10
    Mix all these ingredients using a wooden spoon or your hands until they start forming a dough.
  11. 11
    Once the ingredients have combined, knead onto a lightly floured surface.
  12. 12
    Keep kneading for about 8-10 minutes until the dough feels smooth and elastic.
  13. 13
    When this dough has a spring to it when pressed, then you will know it is done or at least well-kneaded.
  14. 14
    Knead the dough into a ball, and grease a big bowl lightly.
  15. 15
    Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap; put the dough in a warm place for approximately 1 hour to rest.
  16. 16
    The dough is allowed to rest by this period. During its resting time, the yeast ferments, causing the dough to rise and bring out a delicious flavour.
  17. 17
    Prepare the chicken and vegetables while resting the dough.
  18. 18
    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan on medium heat.
  19. 19
    Place one finely chopped onion in the pan and saut about 2 minutes until it is translucent.
  20. 20
    Then add one finely chopped capsicum (bell pepper) and one finely chopped tomato in the pan.
  21. 21
    Saut those vegetables together for 2-3 minutes and stir occasionally.
  22. 22
    Add 200 gms of boneless chicken pieces into the pan.
  23. 23
    Season this mixture with one teaspoon of red chilli powder and one teaspoon of garam masala, and add salt to taste.
  24. 24
    Stir frequently, and cook the chicken with vegetables, making sure it gets tender and is well-cooked, for about 5-7 minutes.
  25. 25
    Set aside from the heat and cool the pan a bit.
  26. 26
    Once the dough has risen, punch down any air bubbles gently.
  27. 27
    Knead it onto a lightly floured surface and then roll it into a 12-inch circle.
  28. 28
    Roll it out evenly so that the thickness will be the same all over the base.
  29. 29
    Pour the dough onto a greased pizza tray, spread four tablespoons of pizza sauce on one sheet, and leave a little at the edge of the dough so that it forms a crust.
  30. 30
    This creates moisture from the crust and different flavours on your pizza.
  31. 31
    Sprinkle abundantly with 200 gms of grated mozzarella cheese. This cheesy layer is going to fulfil the authentic pizza experience.
  32. 32
    Finally, spread the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on top of the cheese.
  33. 33
    Now that you have all your pizzas ready place them in the oven that you have preheated.
  34. 34
    Bake the pizza for a total of 15-20 minutes.
  35. 35
    Keep an eye on it while baking it; you want that golden-brown crust and melty, foamy cheese.
  36. 36
    As soon as it is baked to your liking, pull that pizza out of the oven with care.
  37. 37
    It's going to cool for a few minutes so that the cheese slightly sets.
  38. 38
    Cut it into wedges, and it's ready to serve. Enjoy the fresh, hot, homemade chicken pizza!

FAQs

What are some toppings used in the recipe of Chicken Pizza?

In addition to chicken, you can have various toppings to go well with your Chicken Pizza. Since, on a considerable number of occasions, for many years now, it happens to be one of the favourite toppings, it is quite alright to include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, and even jalapeños on top of it. You could also use other types of cheese - such as feta or cheddar - to give that flavour-boosting effect. One may add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or oregano for the extra taste.

Can Chicken Pizza be prepared ahead?

Oh, absolutely, you can prep Chicken Pizza ahead of time. Put the toppings together; do not bake the pizza; cover the plastic, wrap it, and place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. All you need to do is pre-heat the oven to the recipe's desired temperature, then bake the pizza. Or, assemble the pizza and freeze it for later use. Just remember to wrap it well.

What can be served with Chicken Pizza?

Chicken Pizza is a great combination with many side dishes. Serve it over fresh garden salad, garlic bread, or soup. Additionally, anytime ranch or garlic sauce dips are involved, no one has any complaints.
