Description
A bold, modern twist on a classic favorite, this pizza brings the ‘sweet-heat’ trend to your kitchen. Pan-seared chicken, gooey mozzarella, and a signature drizzle of spicy hot honey combine on a high-heat baked crispy crust for a restaurant-quality experience in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
The Chicken & Base
- 1–2 chicken breasts, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pizza crusts
- Cornmeal, for handling
The Toppings
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
The Signature Finish
- 3 tablespoons hot honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
Cook Chicken: Preheat oven to 475°F. Sauté seasoned chicken cutlets in oil for 4 mins per side. Rest and cube.
Assemble: Dust pan with cornmeal. Lay out crusts, spread sauce, and add mozzarella.
Bake: Top with chicken and Italian seasoning. Bake for 12–15 mins until golden and bubbling.
Finish: Immediately drizzle hot honey over the hot pizza, slice, and serve.
Notes
Sweet-Heat: Make your own hot honey by warming honey with red pepper flakes and hot sauce.
Why Cornmeal? It prevents sticking and adds a signature pizzeria crunch to the bottom of the crust.
Searing for Success: Pre-cooking the chicken ensures it stays juicy and prevents raw juices from making the crust soggy.
