Pizza al Pollo

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Chicken on pizza is a technological challenge: if added raw, it won't cook through or will make the dough soggy; if fully cooked beforehand, it dries out in the oven. The solution is 'half-cooking', i.e., searing the meat to seal in the juices, allowing it to reach perfect tenderness during the pizza baking process.

Instructions

1 ✓

Activate the yeast in water, then knead the dough with flour and salt. Prove for 1 hour.

Tip: Chicken pizza has a heavier topping, so you can leave the dough slightly thicker.
2 ✓

Cut the chicken into small cubes, season with salt and pepper. Sear in a frying pan with hot oil until it turns white (approx. 3-4 minutes), but do not cook through.

Tip: The Maillard reaction (browning) adds flavour to the meat that steaming in the oven cannot replace.
3 ✓

Stretch out the dough, spread with tomato sauce. Scatter with sliced onion, peppers, and the pre-seared meat.

Tip: Slice the vegetables thinly so they cook through in 15 minutes.
4 ✓

Cover everything with mozzarella.

Tip: The cheese protects the meat from direct heat, keeping it juicy.
5 ✓

Bake at 220°C (200°C Fan) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.

Tip: Check the largest piece of meat: if it is white in the centre, it is ready.
