Chicken Cutlet and Broccoli Pizza
This phenomenal pizza has a lot of components so the “recipe” is more of a how-to. You can be very flexible when making this. I spread the crust with half pesto and half parmesan oil. You can make it even easier by choosing just one for the whole base. I also like to use a combo of mozzarella cheese that I shred and some preshredded 4 cheese mix from Trader Joes. My hubby’s fave was the pesto half and my fave was the parmesan oil half. This crust is really amazing and worth the effort to make. It received rave reviews including “better than a pizza place!” If you are pressed for time you will also enjoy This Crust!

Mozzarella Cheese, shredded and a combo of 4 cheese mix, if desired.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 for one hour with rack on second highest position and a pizza stone on it.

- Dock the bottom and brush with parmesan oil.
- Prebake crust 9-10 mins.
- Remove from oven and discard parchment.
