Easy Chicken Pizza

When kids are craving for Pizza and I don’t want to order outside, I use Imperfect Foods to order the required items to make Pizza. The thin-crust pizza base I used in this recipe is the one I ordered from them. You can use any pizza base of your choice. I also made simple pizza sauce by mixing tomato sauce, garlic powder, and Italian herbs. The pizza came out so fabulous that it was gone in minutes.

Instant pot chicken for Pizza

I cooked the chicken in Instant Pot. It got cooked while I was preheating the oven and preparing other toppings for the pizza. I used one chicken breast. Clean and wash the chicken breast. Make two or three slits. Apply salt and black pepper. Switch on the Instant Pot. Pour one glass of water into the pot and place the steamer rack. Place the chicken. Close the lid. Check the valve and cook in the manual for 8 minutes. Once done let the pressure release naturally. When the pressure is released, open the lid and remove the chicken to a plate. Shred the chicken using two forks roughly.

Simple homemade Pizza sauce

Mix ½ cup Tomato sauce, 1 Tbsp Garlic powder, and Italian herbs in a bowl. Use this as Pizza sauce.
