Brazilian chicken pizza with Catupiry cheese

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
If Brazil has a national pizza, this is it. Catupiry is a soft, creamy cheese originally invented in Minas Gerais. The combination of shredded chicken breast and cream cheese is legendary. Traditionally, the Catupiry is piped in a lattice or spiral pattern over the pizza; it doesn't melt away completely during baking but forms rich, creamy stripes.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

Instructions

1 ✓

Cook the chicken breast in salted water, then shred it into strands with a fork. You can mix in a little tomato sauce so it isn't dry.

Tip: Chicken breast meat tends to dry out. If you shred it, it absorbs moisture and sauce over a larger surface area.
2 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the sauce over the dough, and scatter the mozzarella on top.

Tip: The mozzarella is just the base here; the main star will be the cream cheese.
3 ✓

Distribute the chicken over the pizza. Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese and pipe a lattice or spiral pattern over the chicken.

Tip: The cream cheese protects the chicken meat from direct heat, keeping it succulent.
4 ✓

Throw on a few olives and the oregano. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: It is ready when the top of the cream cheese starts to brown.
