Ingredients
1 pizza dough or flatbread
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
1/2 cup cranberry sauce
4 oz brie cheese, sliced
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Roll out your pizza dough or place flatbread on parchment.
3. Spread cranberry sauce evenly over the base, leaving a small crust border.
4. Top with sliced brie and sprinkle mozzarella over it.
5. Add shredded chicken and red onion evenly across the pizza.
6. Drizzle olive oil on top, season with salt and pepper.
7. Bake for 10–14 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
8. Remove from oven, top with fresh rosemary or thyme, and let rest 2–3 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Let brie sit out for 10–15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut.
Avoid overloading with sauce to prevent soggy crust.
For extra crispiness, bake on a preheated pizza stone.
