Basic Ingredients- 4 slices of bread
- 1 can of chicken breast
- 20g red bell pepper
- 20g broccoli
- 20g onion
- 1 handful of pecans
- 1 handful of dried cranberries
- 100g shredded cheese (mozzarella or a pizza blend)
- 2 Tbsp pizza sauce (or spaghetti sauce)
- A pinch of dried parsley
- 1 tsp honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, for the toppings, feel free to use whatever ingredients you have on hand, besides the bread itself. Utilizing existing vegetables will result in a more abundant and flavorful pizza.
Step 2
Drain the oil from the can of chicken breast. Finely chop the red bell pepper, broccoli, and onion. Chopping the vegetables finely helps them blend well with the bread.
Step 3
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce evenly over one side of each slice of bread. The sauce will soak into the bread, adding a nice moisture.
Step 4
Lightly sprinkle some shredded cheese over the sauce-covered bread. This cheese will help bind the topping ingredients together as it melts.
Step 5
Arrange the chopped vegetables and drained chicken breast attractively over the bread base with sauce and cheese. Don’t be shy with the toppings; load them up generously!
Step 6
For the chicken breast pizza, cover the toppings generously with more shredded cheese. This will ensure a wonderfully gooey and cheesy pizza.
Step 7
Now, for a different flavor profile, spread a cream-based sauce on another slice of bread. You can use cream cheese or a store-bought cream spaghetti sauce for a delightful variation.
Step 8
On top of the cream sauce, add the pecans and dried cranberries. The tartness of the cranberries and the nuttiness of the pecans create a wonderful combination. For this pecan pizza, you don’t need to overload it with cheese; just sprinkle enough to lightly hold the ingredients together.
Step 9
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the bread edges are nicely toasted. Adjust the baking time based on your oven’s performance.
Step 10
Once the pecan pizza comes out of the oven, hot and fresh, drizzle a little honey over it. The touch of honey adds a wonderful sweetness that complements the other flavors.
