Creamy chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and herbs on a golden, crispy crust—irresistibly delicious.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Chicken & Sauce

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12.3 oz), diced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
06 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
07 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
08 - 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
09 - 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
10 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Pizza

11 - 1 prepared pizza dough (about 10.6 oz), at room temperature
12 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until chicken is just cooked through.
03 - Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to skillet; cook 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir in Parmesan cheese. Simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and coats chicken. Remove from heat.
04 - Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to desired thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or hot pizza stone. Brush crust edges lightly with olive oil.
05 - Evenly spread creamy chicken mixture over dough, leaving a border around edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over chicken mixture.
06 - Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
07 - Remove pizza from oven. Top with fresh torn basil leaves immediately before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes everything indulgent about Marry Me Chicken and transforms it into handheld, shareable form without losing any of that creamy, garlicky magic.
  • The crust gets golden and crisp while the topping stays luxurious, creating the kind of contrast that makes you reach for another slice before you've finished the first.
02 -
  • Do not skip draining the sun-dried tomatoes well or they'll make the pizza soggy and the oil will pool in spots.
  • Let the dough come to room temperature before rolling or it will shrink back stubbornly no matter how much you stretch it.
03 -
  • Use a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to slide the dough onto a hot stone without tearing or sticking.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar to loosen it and boost flavor at the same time.
