02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

12 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
13 - 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
14 - 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until chicken is just cooked through.
03 - Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; cook 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir in Parmesan. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until sauce is thickened and chicken is coated. Remove from heat.
04 - Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or hot pizza stone. Brush edges lightly with olive oil.
05 - Evenly spread the creamy chicken mixture over the dough, leaving a border. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven. Top with fresh basil leaves before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes the viral Marry Me Chicken flavor and makes it shareable, fun, and even easier to serve.
  • The creamy sauce soaks into the crust just enough to add richness without making it soggy.
  • You can prep the chicken topping ahead and assemble the pizza in minutes when guests arrive.
  • It feels fancy but uses simple ingredients you probably already have on hand.
02 -
  • Let the pizza dough come to room temperature before rolling, cold dough will fight you and shrink back every time you stretch it.
  • Don't skip reducing the heat when you add the cream, high heat can cause it to split or curdle instead of thickening smoothly.
  • If your crust edge isn't browning, brush it with olive oil halfway through baking for extra color and flavor.
03 -
  • Use a pizza stone if you have one, it creates a crispier bottom crust that holds up beautifully under the creamy topping.
  • Always add fresh basil after baking, not before, so it stays vibrant and aromatic instead of turning dark and wilted.
  • If your pizza dough keeps shrinking back when you roll it, let it rest for 5 minutes and then try again, the gluten needs time to relax.
