# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken & Sauce

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 12 oz), diced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
06 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
07 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
08 - 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
09 - 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
10 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Pizza

11 - 1 prepared pizza dough (approximately 10.5 oz), at room temperature
12 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
03 - Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; cook 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir in Parmesan. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and chicken is well coated. Remove from heat.
04 - Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to desired thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or hot pizza stone. Brush edges lightly with olive oil.
05 - Evenly spread creamy chicken mixture over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves before serving.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It takes everything swoon-worthy about Marry Me Chicken and puts it on a crust you can fold and devour.
  • The creamy Parmesan sauce seeps into every bite without making the dough soggy if you work quickly.
  • You can prep the chicken mixture ahead and just assemble when hunger strikes.
  • It feels like date night even on a Tuesday when you're in sweatpants.
02 -
  • Don't skip the step of letting your dough come to room temperature or it will shrink back every time you try to roll it.
  • If your cream sauce seems thin, let it simmer an extra minute off the heat; it will thicken as it cools slightly.
  • Brush olive oil only on the crust edges, not the center, or your toppings might slide right off.
03 -
  • Use a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to transfer your dough onto a hot stone without sticking or tearing.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the finished pizza just before serving—it adds a sweet tang that's unexpectedly perfect.
  • If you love spice, sprinkle crushed red pepper over individual slices so everyone can customize their heat level.
