Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 pizza stone optional
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Skillet

Ingredients
  

Flatbread Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast sliced
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup fresh arugula

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast with warm water and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit until frothy. Mix in flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth. Let it rise covered for 1 hour.
  • In a small saucepan, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over low until well combined. Set aside.
  • Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until golden and cooked through. Slice into strips.

Serving

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Top with the mozzarella cheese, sliced chicken, and cherry tomatoes (if using). Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Drizzle the warm hot honey sauce over the baked pizza. Top with fresh arugula, slice, and serve immediately.

Storage

  • Allow pizza to cool completely. Store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust. Let dough rest before baking to prevent shrinkage. Customize toppings to suit your taste. Double the hot honey sauce for other uses.
Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute chicken with turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option. Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free crust.
How to Serve: Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables. Pair with a crisp white wine or a citrusy craft beer.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare dough a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Cook chicken and make sauce ahead of time for quick assembly.
