Notes
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.
- To make it vegetarian, replace the chicken with roasted mushrooms or grilled zucchini.
- For a gluten-free option, use a cauliflower or almond flour pizza crust.
