Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pre-made pizza dough (about 12 ounces)
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Cheesy Chicken Pizza Stack

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Slice the chicken breast into thin patties. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Drizzle the breaded chicken with olive oil and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
5. While the chicken is baking, roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a pizza stone or baking sheet.
6. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then place the baked chicken patties in the center of the pizza.
8. Top the chicken with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
9. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then slice and serve hot.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in breadcrumbs for a crunchy texture.
• Use fresh mozzarella for an extra creamy melt.
• Experiment with different cheeses like provolone or cheddar for added flavor.
• Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to make slicing easier.

Easy Variations

• Swap the chicken for turkey or a plant-based alternative for a different protein.
• Add veggies like bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms on top of the cheese for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Spice it up with jalapeños or red pepper flakes if you like a kick.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp Caesar salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Garlic breadsticks to complement the cheesy goodness.
• A side of marinara sauce for dipping.
• Roasted vegetables for a healthy side option.
