This Irresistibly Cheesy Cranberry Chicken & Brie Pizza Delight combines the savory goodness of shredded cooked chicken and creamy Brie cheese with the sweet tang of cranberry sauce. A perfect blend of flavors topped with fresh rosemary, Parmesan cheese, and an optional balsamic glaze for an elegant yet comforting pizza experience. Quick to prepare with store-bought or homemade pizza dough, this recipe is ideal for a delicious weeknight dinner or special occasion treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 batch Pizza dough (Store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil (For drizzling on the crust)

Toppings

  • 2 cups Cooked chicken (Shredded)
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese (Broken into pieces)
  • 1 cup Cranberry sauce (Homemade or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary or thyme (For sprinkling)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (Grated)
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and if using, place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. This ensures a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and thickness. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
  3. Drizzle olive oil: Lightly brush or drizzle the olive oil around the edges of the dough to enhance the crust’s flavor and help it brown nicely.
  4. Add cranberry sauce: Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving the edges free for the crust.
  5. Layer the chicken and Brie: Distribute the shredded cooked chicken evenly over the cranberry layer. Then scatter pieces of Brie cheese on top to melt beautifully during baking.
  6. Sprinkle rosemary and Parmesan: Sprinkle fresh rosemary or thyme leaves across the pizza for an aromatic touch, followed by a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added depth of flavor.
  7. Bake the pizza: Transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Add balsamic glaze: Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top if desired for a sweet tangy finish.
  9. Serve: Slice the pizza and serve immediately while it’s warm to enjoy the perfect harmony of cheesy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade pizza dough based on your preference and time availability.
  • For a stronger herbal aroma, lightly crush the fresh rosemary or thyme before sprinkling.
  • If you prefer, substitute Brie cheese with Camembert or another creamy cheese for a similar effect.
  • Balsamic glaze is optional but highly recommended to balance the sweet cranberry sauce and savory toppings.
  • Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
