CHILI GARLIC CHICKEN PIZZA

Spice up your pizza night with this Chili Garlic Chicken Pizza, combining tender chicken, fiery chili garlic sauce, and gooey melted cheese on a perfectly baked crust. This homemade pizza delivers the perfect balance of heat, flavor, and texture, making it a favorite for weeknight dinners, parties, or casual gatherings.

With a crisp crust, savory toppings, and a punch of spice, this pizza is a step above the usual takeout. Plus, making it at home allows you to control the spice level and customize toppings for your taste.

Why This Pizza Stands Out

• Bold flavors: Chili garlic sauce and tender chicken create a spicy, savory combination.
• Customizable: Add bell peppers, onions, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
• Perfectly baked crust: Crispy edges and a soft, chewy center.
• Quick to assemble: Ready in under 30 minutes if using pre-made dough.

Tips for Perfect Chili Garlic Chicken Pizza

1. Marinate chicken: Toss chicken in chili garlic sauce for at least 20 minutes for maximum flavor.
2. Preheat oven: Ensure pizza stone or pan is hot for a crispy crust.
3. Even topping distribution: Spread cheese and chicken evenly to prevent soggy spots.
4. Optional garnishes: Add fresh cilantro, red chili flakes, or a drizzle of garlic oil after baking.
5. Slice carefully: Let pizza rest 2–3 minutes before slicing to avoid cheese sliding.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

2. Toss chicken with chili garlic sauce in a bowl and set aside to marinate 20 minutes.
3. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
4. Brush dough lightly with olive oil and spread minced garlic evenly on top.
5. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the dough.
6. Distribute chili garlic chicken evenly, followed by red onion and bell pepper slices if using.
7. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
8. Transfer pizza carefully to preheated oven using parchment paper or pizza peel.
9. Bake 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove pizza, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, slice, and serve hot.

Serving & Storage Tips
