  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12-14 inch) pre-made pizza dough
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 5 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a pizza stone or baking sheet. Stretch or roll the pizza dough onto the prepared surface.
  2. Step 2: Brush the entire surface of the pizza dough lightly with olive oil. Spread the whole berry cranberry sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
  3. Step 3: Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the cranberry sauce, followed by the shredded chicken breast. Arrange the slices of Brie cheese evenly across the pizza.
  4. Step 4: Scatter the thin slices of red onion and the chopped fresh rosemary over the top of the assembled pizza.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the Brie cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Store leftover slices stacked with parchment paper in an airtight container for up to 3 days; this prevents the crust from absorbing excess moisture from the sauce and Brie.
  • For optimal crunch, reheat slices wrapped loosely in foil in a 350°F oven for about 8 minutes, or use an air fryer until the cheese is hot and the crust is crisp.
  • Enhance the richness of the Brie and cranberry flavors by serving slices alongside a light, peppery arugula salad dressed simply with lemon juice and olive oil.
  • To maximize the aromatic punch, gently crush the chopped fresh rosemary between your fingers just before scattering it over the pizza; this releases its essential oils for a brighter flavor profile.
