1 (13 2/5 ounce) package room-temperature fresh pizza dough
•
1 cup tomato sauce
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
5 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

Directions
1
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a pizza pan with olive oil and flour.
2
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
3
Dust a flat working surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough out to the size of your pizza pan. Place dough on the prepared pan.
4
Stir the tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; spread evenly over the surface of the dough. Scatter, in order, the chicken, chourico, red onion, banana peppers, pizza cheese, and Parmesan over the tomato sauce mixture.
5
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until the cheese is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Switch the oven setting to broil and cook another 5 minutes.
