Chicken pizza

Pasta/Pizza - Chicken pizza by Sabina A. - Recipia

Chicken pizza bakes at 180°C for about 30 minutes, topped with chicken strips, pickled cucumber, egg and processed cheese. The crust comes out thin, with browned edges, and the fries are served on the side. I slice the cucumber thinly so it’s spread evenly among the pieces of chicken. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 73 minutes. Total time: 93 minutes. Serves: 2. About 1250 kcal and 58 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 250 g flour
  • 200 ml sparkling mineral water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the pizza

  • 2 bone-in chicken thighs (about 500 g)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 medium pickled cucumber (about 100 g)
  • 1 chili pepper (about 10 g)
  • 100 g processed cheese block
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk

For the potatoes

  • 2 medium potatoes (about 400 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons oil

Preparation

1. Mix the flour with the sparkling mineral water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until you have a soft dough. Roll it out and shape it as you like. 2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Fry them in a hot pan with 2 tablespoons of oil for 35 minutes, turning them now and then, until browned and cooked through. Remove the meat from the bones and cut it into strips. 3. Rinse and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin slices. Toss them with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Fry them in a clean pan with 3 tablespoons of oil for 8 minutes, until browned. Transfer them to a paper towel. 4. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the crust with the egg yolk, then top with the chicken strips, sliced pickled cucumber, egg and chili pepper. Break the processed cheese into pieces and spoon it over the topping. Bake the pizza for about 30 minutes, until the edges are browned and the egg is set. Serve with the fries.

Notes

Cut the pizza into slices and serve the fries alongside; the combination is a bit like a serving of schnitzel with a side, with the chicken and crust in the same bite. The wheat crust, processed cheese and eggs contain gluten, dairy and eggs. Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days; for a firmer base, reheat the slices in a pan. Roll the dough to about 3 mm if you want crispier edges, because a thicker crust stays softer under the topping. Drain the pickled cucumber well; if it’s very salty, rinse it briefly and pat it dry. Potato slices of similar thickness brown more evenly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?

Yes. Cut 250 g of chicken breast into strips and brown it in a pan for 8 minutes, until there are no pink areas in the center.

Can I replace the chili pepper with bell pepper?

Yes, use 1/2 bell pepper, about 50 g, cut into thin strips.

Can I use mozzarella instead of processed cheese?

Yes, use 100 g of low-moisture mozzarella and tear it into small pieces before putting it over the topping.

What should I do if the egg on top is still soft?

Leave the pizza in the oven for another 3-5 minutes and check again; the time can vary depending on how cold the egg was.
