Chicken and Chourico Pizza
Share recipe
Description
My mom always made pizza with chourico growing up and I loved it. I have redone it and added more protein - chicken! I love homemade pizza.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into small chunks
- flour for dusting
- 1 (13.4 ounce) package room-temperature fresh pizza dough
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ link Portuguese hot chourico sausage - halved lengthwise and sliced into thin half moons
- ¼ red onion, sliced thin
- ¼ cup banana pepper rings
- 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella & cheddar pizza cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- 1. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a pizza pan with olive oil and flour.
- 2. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
- 3. Dust a flat working surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough out to the size of your pizza pan. Place dough on the prepared pan.
- 4. Stir the tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; spread evenly over the surface of the dough. Scatter, in order, the chicken, chourico, red onion, banana peppers, pizza cheese, and Parmesan over the tomato sauce mixture.
- 5. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until the cheese is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Switch the oven setting to broil and cook another 5 minutes.
