Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade

Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness. Make-Ahead Tip: Grill the chicken up to 2 days in advance and store separately. Assemble the pizza just before baking for best results. Substitutions: Use rotisserie chicken for even quicker prep. For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with grilled portobello mushrooms or tofu. Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side salad of mixed greens tossed with a light vinaigrette for a complete meal.
