Description

A delicious option for homemade pizza! Butter garlic sauce, chicken, tomato, ricotta, and Parmesan are baked together for a delightfully light pizza.

Ingredients

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Place chicken breast in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until no longer pink, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool slightly, then cut into strips.
2 Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter with garlic, onion, and basil. Pour into a chilled dish to cool, and refrigerate until set.
3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Roll out pizza dough, place onto a pizza pan or other baking sheet, and spread herb butter over surface using the back of a spoon. Arrange chicken on top, then dot with ricotta cheese. Top with tomato slices, cilantro, and Parmesan cheese.
5 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crust is browned and the center is cooked through.
