Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes for best texture. Make-Ahead: The chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance. The pizza can be fully assembled (without baking) and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Substitutions: Use gluten-free pizza dough for a gluten-free option. For a dairy-free version, omit the mozzarella and use a dairy-free cheese alternative. Serving Suggestion: Serve with a fresh arugula salad dressed with a light lemon vinaigrette.
