Ingredients

  • 4 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons diced onions
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 cup tomatoes diced and drained
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ cup shredded Fontinella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 12 inch pre-baked pizza crust

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Saute or bake chicken breast, cool. Cut chicken into ¼-inch thick strips.
  • Spray or grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.
  • Place the pizza crust on the pizza pan.
  • Place tomatoes, salt, and basil in a bowl.
  • Saute onions and garlic briefly in the olive oil and add them to the tomatoes, salt, and basil.
  • Spread the tomato mixture over the top of the crust.
  • Lay the chicken strips on top of the tomatoes.
  • Top with Fontinella and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the crust is piping hot.

Recipe Tips

For the most authentic flavor, try to find true Fontinella cheese, which has a distinctive sweet and creamy profile. If unavailable, Asiago makes an acceptable substitute, though the flavor will be slightly more sharp. While a pre-baked crust works perfectly for weeknight ease, homemade pizza dough creates an even more impressive final result. The key to this sauce-less pizza is allowing the tomato mixture to slightly cook down before spreading it on the crust – this develops flavor while ensuring the pizza won't be dry.
