Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 3 cloves garlic divided
- 1½ teaspoons oregano divided, dried
- ¼ teaspoon basil dried
- ¾ teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper divided, fresh ground
- 2 cups grape tomatoes quartered
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1½ teaspoons garlic salt
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
- 15 basil sliced, leaves
Instructions
- Between two pieces of parchment paper, pound the chicken breast to an even thickness, approximately ¾ of an inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix ½ tablespoon of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon dried basil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Pour into a resealable Ziplock bag, add the chicken breast, and massage to coat the chicken in spices. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 1½ tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon dried oregano. Stir in the quartered grape tomatoes and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan and preheat the oven to 450℉. When the grill is hot, turn the heat to medium and grill the chicken breast for 4 minutes per side, or until it is no longer pink on the inside. Cool for a few minutes and slice into bite sized pieces.
- Roll the pizza dough into a circle on a 15-inch pizza stone or pan, leaving the edges slightly thicker. Bake the dough at 450℉ for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Using a slotted spoon, spread the tomatoes evenly over the pizza crust. Discard the remaining liquid. Place mozzarella slices over tomatoes. Spread chicken and fresh basil on top of cheese, and top with garlic salt.
- Return to oven for 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and slice. Serve immediately.
