PIZZA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl; place flour into a second bowl. Whisk egg and lemon juice together in a third bowl.
• Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture and dredge in flour; dip again in egg mixture and dredge chicken in crumb mixture until coated. Place coated chicken breasts into a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is heated through and crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese, and top each with half the pepperoni slices.
• Bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

CHERRY TOMATO & PANCETTA PIZZA

Steps:

• Empty the pizza dough into a bowl. Shred or chop the basil and stir half of it into the mixture along with 200ml warm water. Knead vigorously for 5 mins, then roll out into a 30cm round shape.
• Transfer to a floured baking sheet, rub the surface with olive oil and leave for 15 mins until risen. Push the cherry tomatoes, cut-side up, into the dough so the pizza is studded with them.
• Dry the mozzarella very thoroughly with kitchen paper, then cut into cubes. Scatter over the pizza along with the pancetta or bacon, then bake for 20 mins until risen, bubbling and golden. Tear over the remaining basil leaves.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes, oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 Tbsp. oregano, and 1 tsp. salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet.
• If using skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slice them into 4 cutlets: Holding knife blade parallel to board, cut breast in half, slicing along a long side, to make 2 pieces.
• Season chicken on all sides with pepper and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. oregano. Nestle chicken into tomato mixture. Roast until chicken is almost fully cooked through and tomatoes are starting to burst, 8-10 minutes. Arrange mozzarella rounds over chicken and tomatoes. Return to oven and roast until cheese is melted and chicken is fully cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Top with onion and peperoncini.

GRILLED CHICKEN PIZZA WITH MOZZARELLA AND ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap garlic heads in foil and place on small rimmed baking pan. Transfer to oven and cook 1 hour or until garlic is dark golden brown and very soft. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to touch. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skin into a small bowl.
• Preheat grill for two-zone grilling: half of grill should be set to medium-high; other half should be off (indirect heat).
• Stretch and shape dough into 14-inch circle and place on pizza pan or large tray. Brush one side of dough with 1 tablespoon oil. Use hands to transfer dough to direct heat side of grill, oiled side down. Do not worry if dough becomes a little misshapen during the transfer. Cook 2 minutes, or until the dough releases itself from the grates (do not disturb dough before it releases).
• Brush top side of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then use tongs to flip dough. Cook 2 minutes or until dough releases from grates. Continue cooking dough 3 to 4 minutes longer or until dough is firm and grill-marked in all areas, flipping and rotating frequently but keeping grill closed when not flipping.
• Remove dough from grill and spread with sauce. Top with chicken, Stella® Mozzarella Cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and roasted garlic cloves.
• Transfer pizza back to grill on indirect heat side. Close grill and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until toppings are warmed through and crust is fully cooked.
• Remove pizza from grill and top with spinach. Cut and serve immediately.
