Ingredients

  • 16 ounces (450g) pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 recipe white pizza sauce
  • 2 cups (270g) boneless, skinless chicken breast chopped and cooked (both home-cooked and store-bought work fine)
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced or diced
  • ½-1 cup (60-113g) shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup (7-8g) thinly sliced fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  • Roll the premade pizza dough out with your hands or a rolling pin into a 14″ circle.
  • Line a pizza pan with parchment paper and transfer the dough to the pan. Either pinch the edges or fold them over to form a crust edge.
  • Poke holes all over the center of the pizza with a fork to keep the dough from bubbling up in the oven.
  • Bake it for about 10 minutes, remove it from the oven, and let it cool.
  • Top with white sauce, followed by cooked chicken, bell pepper, mozzarella, basil, and other desired toppings.
  • Bake it again at 450℉ (205℃) for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let it cool slightly, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Leftover roasted chicken and Thanksgiving turkey are an efficient use of resources.
  • No need to feel guilty if using premade pizza dough. Gluten-free, whole wheat, or other favorite works fine. I've even used pita and flatbread when I don't have pizza dough. 
  • Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and varies depending on the ingredients used.
