Ingredients

• 1 pack Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 piece Boneless chicken breast
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Basil
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 2

Place the oven rack in the lower-middle position and prepare a large baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.

Step 4

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Step 7

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza dough.

Step 8

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute the cooked and sliced chicken on top.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the chicken.

Step 11

Add dried oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes evenly across the top.

Step 12

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
