This Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Formaggio Pizza combines seasoned diced chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, diced tomatoes with basil, and three types of cheese layered on a prebaked pizza crust.

Notes
- Use true Fontinella cheese for its sweet, creamy flavor; Asiago is an acceptable alternative but sharper.
- A pre-baked pizza crust speeds up preparation, but homemade dough can improve texture and flavor.
- Allow the tomato mixture to cook down slightly before spreading on the crust to enhance flavor and avoid dryness.
