Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1 cup ham, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey until smooth. This will be the base sauce for your pizza.
- Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper if using a pizza stone, or directly onto a greased baking sheet.
- Assemble the Pizza: Brush the pizza dough with olive oil, then spread the Dijon mustard sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add Toppings: Layer the sliced or shredded chicken breast over the sauce, followed by the thinly sliced ham. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top, then add the mozzarella cheese. Season with garlic powder and onion powder.
- Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper if using a stone) onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
