Garlic Oil:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Toppings:
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded or chopped)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using refrigerated dough, let it come to room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle or rectangle and transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Make the garlic oil: In a small bowl, mix olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the garlic oil evenly over the dough.
- Add toppings: Top with shredded chicken, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and serve: Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley or basil. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Add sliced red onions, spinach, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
