CHICKEN BASIL PIZZA RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone, unglazed ceramic tiles, or a heavy cookie sheet on the oven rack. Heat oven to 400° F.
• If starting with pizza dough, pat or pull each piece into a 12-inch circle.
• Top each circle with sauce, then scatter the chicken, basil, and mozzarella over each. Drizzle with oil.
• Sprinkle the pizza stone with the cornmeal.
• Using the back of a cookie sheet, transfer the pizza to oven. (You may have to bake the pizzas one at a time, depending on the oven size.)
• Bake 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is browned.

Steps:

• Sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; fry garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant
• Add tomato paste, coriander, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper flakes; give the mixture a good stir
• Turn the heat down to medium, and add the white wine, ketchup and lemon juice
• Simmer sauce for 1 minute (low heat), then stir in the chopped basil; remove from heat, cover and set aside
• Topping: Make sure the chicken breasts are quite flat, if not, pound them between clingwrap with a meat mallet or rolling pin
• Next sprinkle some salt, black pepper, basil, coriander and oregano over both sides; rub in the seasonings using your fingers
• Lay the chicken on foil-lined baking tray
• Combine lemon juice and olive oil; drizzle over the chicken and bake in preheated oven at 200°C / 390°F for 15mins or until just cooked through
• Remove from oven, cool slightly and slice the chicken, across the grain, into small strips
• Spread the sauce on your favorite pizza crust, scatter the cooked chicken and diced pepper over the sauce
• Top the pizza with mozzarella cheese and bake for approx 10-15mins (depending on your crust)
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and serve immediately
