Pizza al Pollo
Pizza al Pollo is a modern Italian-inspired pizza that offers the perfect balance of rich, juicy chicken breast and fresh vegetables. Chicken is a popular choice for healthier pizzas, as it is rich in protein and has a light flavor. There's nothing better than a slice of hot, golden-brown chicken pizza for a weekend family dinner. The secret lies in properly sautéing the chicken: if you fry it with a little garlic and olive oil, you get a much more intense flavor!

Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
3
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
While the dough is rising, cut the chicken breast into small strips, and slice the bell pepper and onion into thin slices.
5
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sauté until golden brown. Press in the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
6
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Spread tomato sauce over the dough, then sprinkle with oregano and fresh basil. Evenly distribute the mozzarella, sautéed chicken, bell pepper, and onion on top.
8
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the crust is crispy.
9
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve garnished with fresh basil leaves.
