Instructions
Creating Balsamic Glazed Chicken Pizza is a simple process that yields delicious results. Follow these easy steps to make your own:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest.
3. Make Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Slice Chicken: Once the chicken has cooled, slice it into thin strips.
5. Assemble Pizza: On the prepared pizza crust, evenly spread the shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange the sliced chicken over the cheese.
6. Drizzle Glaze: Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and cheese.
7. Add Goat Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese on top, if using.
8. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve warm.
