Most of us know and love chicken Parmesan as a pasta dish, so why not try it as a pizza? Chicken parm pizza captures the essence of the classic Italian-American dish with a fraction of the effort. The recipe uses pantry staples like premade pizza dough, jarred marinara sauce and frozen breaded chicken tenders, saving you a special trip to the grocery store. Topped with melty mozzarella and nutty parm, this is a crowd-pleasing pizza everyone will love.<\/p>\n
Serve our chicken parm pizza as an easy dinner with a side salad, or double the recipe and serve it as a pizza appetizer<\/a> at your next party.<\/p>\n Bake the frozen breaded chicken tenders according to the package directions. Remove the chicken from the oven. Increase the oven setting to 450\u00b0F.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip<\/em>: If you prefer to make your own breaded tenders, check out this seasoned chicken strips<\/a> recipe. Or, if you happen to have leftover fried chicken on hand, simply reheat the fried chicken<\/a> in the oven or air fryer.<\/p>\n Grease a 12-inch pizza pan. Roll the dough to fit the pan. In a small bowl, stir together the marinara sauce and garlic powder. Spread it over the dough.<\/p>\n Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Top the pizza with the chicken and mozzarella.<\/p>\n Bake the pizza on a lower oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with Parmesan and basil. Serve with additional marinara.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Serve the marinara on the side as a dipping sauce, or drizzle it over the pizza for a styled look.<\/p>\n Leftover chicken parm pizza is good for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat leftover pizza<\/a> on a preheated baking sheet in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop.<\/p>\n We use a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for our chicken parm pizza\u2014just like you would find in a baked chicken Parmigiana recipe<\/a>. Parmesan cheese adds a strong umami flavor, and mozzarella melts beautifully to give the pizza a silky-smooth texture.<\/p>\n Serve chicken parm pizza with a simple Italian salad<\/a> or vegetable side dishes<\/a> like roasted broccoli or green beans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We transform classic chicken Parmesan into a quick and easy dinner.
