Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust*
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup thin dill pickle slices
- 1 cup diced seasoned chicken I like to use baked or grilled chicken breast for this recipe, but any kind of chicken will work, even leftover chicken!
- 1/3 cup hot sauce I like to use Frank’s Red Hot sauce, but you can use any of your favorite hot sauces!
Instructions
- Prepare your pizza crust(if you are using premade pizza dough you may need to let it warm up to room temperature before prepping) and preheat your oven according to the recipe instructions. The temperature and bake time below are based on my sourdough pizza crust recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Roll out your crust and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet(if you don’t have any parchment paper on hand, you can grease your baking sheet with olive oil)
- In a small bowl toss together your shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Set aside until ready to use.
- Using the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula spread the hot sauce over your pizza crust, leaving roughly 1/4 inch gap around the edges of the crust.
- Sprinkle the diced chicken over the hot sauce doing your best to keep it evenly spread out over the whole pizza. Sprinkle your mixed cheese over the top of the chicken, keeping it as evenly spread out as possible. Layer the sliced pickles over the top of the cheese.
- Place the pizza into your preheated oven and make for 10-15 minutes. Or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*I like to use my homemade sourdough pizza crust, as I like to make this recipe on a thin crust. For a thicker crust, I usually use my homemade pizza crust recipe. But you can feel free to use your favorite homemade or store-bought dough.
Any leftover pizza can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat your pizza, place it on a baking sheet and heat at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until hot.
I love to serve this pizza with a drizzle of hot sauce over the top and a side of ranch dressing. But it’s also great with a side of sour cream or French onion dip!
I like to use dill pickle chips or hamburger pickles for this recipe, but you can also use spicy dill pickles or sweet pickles if you like those better!
You can also use any kind of cheese you like for this recipe. Pepper jack cheese, parmesan cheese, and Colby cheese are all great options!
