Total Time 27 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ball (about 16 oz) pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup cooked chicken diced into about 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup red onion chopped
  • 10 to 12 leaves fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1/2 large tomato diced into about 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking stone or parchment-lined pizza peel
  • Rolling Pin
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven if using; otherwise prepare a parchment-lined surface.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a circle to your desired thickness and transfer it to parchment paper or a pizza peel.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the mustard layer.
  5. Distribute the diced cooked chicken over the cheese, then evenly scatter the minced garlic, chopped red onion, chopped basil, and diced tomato.
  6. Finish by sprinkling 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan over the top.
  7. Slide the pizza (on parchment) onto the middle or top oven rack and bake for 9 to 13 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Adjust garlic amount to taste.
  • Place on a preheated stone for a crisper crust.
  • Leave a 1-inch border of dough for a proper crust.
