Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1/2 pound ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or crumbled Akkawi cheese
  • Handful of fresh parsley or mint, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add ground chicken, tomato paste, spices, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and well seasoned. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Roll out pizza dough on parchment paper. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  4. Spread chicken mixture over the dough. Top with cheese and sprinkle pine nuts evenly.
  5. Transfer pizza to the hot baking surface and bake for 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped herbs and red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • Pre-cook the chicken topping to avoid a soggy crust.
  • For extra crunch, toast pine nuts before adding.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice over the top after baking for brightness.
