Chicekn Parm Pizza

Cornmeal or flour, to handle dough
1 pizza dough, store bought
2 tablespoons Extra-virgin oil.
1 pound ground chicken
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
salt and pepper
handful of fresh parsley leafs, chopped
a couple pinches of red pepper flakes
a couple pinches of dried oregano cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Provolone cheese
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
5 or 6 fresh Basil leaves, shredded or torn
1 8 ounce jar of tomato sauce

Preheat the oven to 425

Coat your hands and the work surface with a little cormeal or flour and, using your hand or a rolling pin, form a 14-inch round pizza. Place the pizza on a pizza baking tray and prick the dough with a fork in several places. Drizzle a little bit of virgin oil over the dough and place it in the oven. Bake it for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat with the 2 tablesppons of oil Add the meat and brown it, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. To the browned meat, add the garlic and onions and season them with salt and pepper. Cook them together for 5 to 6 minutes, then add the parsley, red pepper flakes, oregano, and tomato sauce. Heat the sauce through.

Remove the pizza from the oven after 10 minutes and top it with the meat sauce, then scatter the cheeses over all. Return it to the oven and bake it until it's golden and bubbly, another 10 to 12 minutes. Top the pizza with shredded basil.

I'm going to make this next football Sunday! I will let you know how my husband likes it! I'm sure he will rename it to something football wise!
