💡Tips
1. Grating Cheese
For the best results, grate your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded. Pre-shredded cheese often has additives to keep it from clumping, which can affect how it melts. Get a block of mozzarella and grate it yourself.
It only takes a few extra minutes, and it makes a big difference in how your pizza turns out. If the cheese is too soft to grate easily, pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes first.
2. Let It Rest Before Cutting
Once your pizza is out of the oven, it’s tempting to cut into it right away. But if you can wait just a few minutes, your pizza will be much easier to slice and serve. Letting it rest for about 5 minutes allows the cheese to set a bit, so it doesn’t all slide off when you cut it. It also lets the flavors settle and blend together.

This recipe takes about 45-50 minutes total. You’ll spend about 10 minutes mixing and shaping the crust, 20 minutes for the first bake, 5 minutes making the sauce and adding toppings, and 12 minutes for the final bake.
2. Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
Yes, you can use pre-cooked chicken. This will save you time. You can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or canned chicken. Just make sure to chop or shred it finely so it mixes well with the other crust ingredients.
