Ingredients

  • 3 Pizza base (20 cm)

Pizza sauce

  • 200 grams Tomato polpa – finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Cajun sauce / Tabasco sauce

Spices

  • ½ tsp Dried parsley
  • ½ tsp Dried basil
  • ½ tsp Dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Onion powder
  • ½ Tbsp Sugar
  • 4 tsp Olive oil

Pizza Toppings

  • 220 grams Chicken breast
  • 100 grams Mozzarella cheese – grated
  • 50 grams Parmesan cheese – grated
  • 8 Black olives – sliced
  • 4 Garlic cloves – minced
  • 1 Red pepper – cubed
  • 3 Fresh basil leaves – sliced

Instructions

  • Cook the Pizza Sauce: Preheat the pan to medium-low heat. Drizzle two teaspoons of olive oil and cook the garlic for 2 minutes. Then add tomato polpa, Cajun sauce, dried parsley, dried basil, onion powder, and salt. Add ½ tablespoons of sugar to balance out the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add ½ cups of water and stir to mix. Make sure to close the lid and cook for 30 minutes on low heat.
  • Cut the Chicken: Halve the chicken horizontally, then cut the chicken into ½ inch cubes. Having smaller cubes rather than larger ones is better for making eating easier.
  • Cook the Chicken: Preheat the pan on medium-low heat. Add butter and olive oil, and then add chicken and rosemary. Stir to coat the chicken with oil and rosemary and cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to evenly cook the chicken on all sides. When some water is released from the chicken, add salt, pepper, and red bell pepper. Stir to mix the ingredients and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Toppings: Place the pizza base on a plate and add the toppings: the chicken, red bell pepper, black olives, fresh basil leaves, and mozzarella cheese. Close the lid and trap the heat, which will melt the cheese and toast the pizza base. As soon as it has melted, the cheese is ready to serve.
