Ingredients

• 1 medium crust Protein-rich pizza crust (store-bought or homemade, e.g., made from chickpea flour or high-protein flour)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Fresh sweet corn kernels (from about 1-2 ears of corn)
• 1 cup Grilled chicken breast, shredded (or plant-based chicken alternative for vegetarians)
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese (use high-protein ricotta or plant-based ricotta for vegan option)
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (or vegan mozzarella for plant-based option)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 2

If needed, precook your high-protein pizza crust according to its instructions (some store-bought options need to be par-baked).

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the crust, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 5

Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.

Step 6

Top the pizza with the shredded grilled chicken, sweet corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.

Step 7

Drizzle the garlic-infused olive oil over the top of the pizza and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.

Step 8

Transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pizza before slicing and serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your High Protein Summer Sweet Corn Pizza!
