Barbecue Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
1 large (30cm) pizza base
⅓ packet of Perfect Italiano Perfect Pizza cheese
1 medium size chicken breast (about 200g)
2 tsp olive oil
3 tbsp barbecue sauce
1 shallot
4 Swiss brown mushrooms
170g marinated capsicum
1 tbsp thyme leaves
Method:
Preheat the oven to 250°C.
Place the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Once rested, slice into thin strips or roughly shred.
Spread the barbecue sauce over the pizza base. Sprinkle over ¾ of the cheese to evenly cover the base. Top with the chicken, mushrooms, shallot, capsicum and thyme leaves. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the base becomes crispy.
Tip: If you want to make this pizza even simpler try using leftover roast chicken or cooked barbecue chicken from your supermarket instead of cooking the chicken breast.
Mixed Mushrooms and Pancetta Pizza
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
300g mixed mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
3 tsp thyme leaves
⅓ packet Perfect Italiano Perfect Pizza cheese
1 large (30cm) pizza base
4 slices pancetta
Method:
Preheat the oven to 250°C.
Heat the oil in a large frypan over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat, season and stir through the garlic and thyme. Set aside.
Meanwhile, sprinkle over the cheese to evenly cover the pizza base. Top with the pancetta, and place the pizza into the oven for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
Once the cheese has melted, remove the pizza from the oven and top with the mushroom mixture. Return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes or until the base becomes crispy.
