Notes
Pre-cooking chicken ensures it’s perfectly done when pizza finishes baking
Don’t overload with sauce to prevent soggy crust
Pizza stone creates crispier crust but baking sheet works fine
Leftover pizza reheats well in 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes
Try rotisserie chicken for convenient preparation
