I first made this recipe on a Monday night to knead away the Monday blues.
I used leftover roast chicken, sliced onions, and mozzarella as toppings.
Since then it has been a constant at pizza night (a monthly event in my house).

Its a good weekday or weekend idea to feed a family of four.
A green salad on the side makes it a complete meal.
No Pizza Stone?

It helps create a hot surface to cook the bottom of the pizza well.
If you have a pizza stone you could definitely use it in this recipe.
I will stress on this point though: when you bake pizza, the oven should be hot.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a pan on medium heat add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
Rest for 5 minutes and cut into cubes, then set aside.

Dust your hands and the surface with flour.
Working with one ball at a time, flatten the dough with your hands.
Start from the center and work your way outward using your fingertips to stretch out the dough.

Sprinkle the pizza peel with semolina and gently transfer the prepared flattened dough to the peel.
If the dough loses its shape during the transfer, take a minute to reshape it.
Spoon half of the sauce over the dough and spread it evenly with the back of the spoon.

Top the pizza with half of the chicken and sliced red onions, if using.
Then top with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Shape and top the second pizza as the first one bakes.

Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with fresh parsley and more Parmesan if needed.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This ensures a crispy base and melting cheese.
