Ingredients

• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce (low-sugar or homemade)
• 0.5 cup Bell pepper, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, sliced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until both are melted and well combined.

Step 3

Add the egg and grated Parmesan cheese to the melted cheese mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth.

Step 4

Spread the cheese and egg mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet to form an approximately 10-inch crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 6

While the crust is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken until it's no longer pink, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and slice into strips.

Step 7

Spread the pizza sauce over the baked crust, and top with the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Arrange the cooked chicken, bell pepper slices, red onion, mushrooms, and black olives evenly over the sauce and cheese.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve.
