Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce homemade or canned
- 6 oz brie cheese, sliced rind on or off, as you prefer
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh rosemary or thyme leaves roughly chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
Finishing Touch
- 1 tbsp honey for drizzling on top, optional
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you are using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats so it’s nice and hot when the pizza goes in.
Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a preheated pizza stone. Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to help it bake golden and crisp.
Spread the cranberry sauce: Use a spoon to spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the oiled dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. This acts as your sweet and tangy pizza “sauce.”
Add the chicken: Scatter the shredded cooked chicken evenly over the cranberry sauce. This adds a hearty, savory layer that balances the sweetness of the cranberries.
Layer on the brie: Arrange the slices of brie over the top of the chicken and cranberry layer. As the pizza bakes, the brie will melt into a creamy, buttery blanket of flavor.
Add onion and herbs: Sprinkle the thinly sliced red onion and fresh rosemary or thyme over the pizza. Season lightly with salt and black pepper to bring all the flavors together.
Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the brie is melted and bubbly, and the edges are lightly browned.
Finish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle honey over the top if using, slice into pieces, and serve warm. Enjoy each sweet, savory, and creamy bite.
