Easy and Healthy Chicken Caprese Pizza.
Browsing magazines never fails to make me inspired. Whether its a craft or a dinner, magazines are full of opportunities. I came across a picture of chicken caprese pizza in seventeen magazine. This seemed like the perfect meal to satisfy the appetite of the picky eaters of our house, while still keeping it healthy. This pizza is truly easy to make and will make everyone’s mouth water.
Ingredients:
Pizza dough. We used pre-made dough.
1 Roma tomato- sliced
Shredded mozzarella- 1 cup
1 grilled chicken breast- sliced
Fresh basil leaves cut into chiffonade
Olive oil- approximately 2 tbsp.
Directions:
1.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Flour a hard surface and begin to roll out the dough. I made 4 pizzas small enough for everyone to have their own. You can also make one larger pizza to share with everyone. This recipe is for one large one.
3. Pour olive oil on the pizza. You want just enough to lightly cover the dough. If you feel like the pizza needs a sauce you can definitely sub the olive oil for pizza sauce. Pre-bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 4 minutes.
4. Take out the crust, cover the pizza in mozzarella.
5. Now you want to slice the grilled chicken into smaller strips and add them onto the cheese.
6. Pop it in the oven and bake it for about 7-10 min or until the crust is firm and the cheese is melted.
7. Slice your tomatoes. Add them to your pizza and bake for about 3-5 minutes. I do this to warm up the tomatoes on the pizza.
8. Chop up your basil. I used a technique called chiffonde. This is where you roll the leaf long ways, and slice it. This gives you strips of basil.
9. When your pizza is completely done baking you can add the basil, serve it up and enjoy!
