Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 250g) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Step 2
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 4
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza dough's surface. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 5
Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly across the pizza and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
Step 6
Distribute the sliced chicken, red bell pepper, and red onion over the cheese layer.
Step 7
Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the top.
Step 8
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
