Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 1 cup chicken, shredded
- 1 cup brie cheese, sliced
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Sauce and Spread:
- ½ cup cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish:
- ¼ cup parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a scorching 425°F, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- Place the pre-made pizza crust on a clean baking sheet, spreading it smoothly and evenly.
- Grab the ½ cup of cranberry sauce and use the back of a spoon to distribute it across the entire crust surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Scatter the 1 cup of shredded chicken over the cranberry sauce, creating an even layer that covers most of the pizza.
- Carefully arrange the 1 cup of brie cheese slices across the chicken, allowing some spaces between the pieces for melting.
- Sprinkle the ½ cup of mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza, ensuring complete coverage.
- Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a light, zigzag pattern across the top of the pizza.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 425°F oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling cheese.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately garnish with the ¼ cup of freshly chopped parsley.
- Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set slightly.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality cranberry sauce for the best flavor balance on your pizza.
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked and shredded finely for even distribution across the crust.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional pizza crust with a cauliflower or almond flour base.
- Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to help the cheese set and make slicing easier.
