Chicken Bacon and Artichoke Pizza
Ingredients:
– 1 pound store-bought or homemade pizza dough
– 1/2 cup tomato sauce
– 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
– 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
– 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the pizza.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.
3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle the shredded chicken over the sauce, followed by the crumbled bacon and chopped artichoke hearts.
4. Top the pizza with the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the cheese.
5. Carefully slide the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Drizzle with a little olive oil and garnish with additional fresh basil, if desired.
7. Serve the Chicken Bacon and Artichoke Pizza hot and enjoy with a side salad or a glass of your favorite wine for a complete meal.
