Chicken Mushroom Pizza Recipe

If you’re looking for a delicious, creamy chicken mushroom pizza, this is the one! This easy pizza recipe has a rich white garlic sauce as the base, topped with juicy chicken and mushrooms.

I absolutely love mushrooms, and I’ve shared so many pizza recipes where mushroom is the star topping.

Mushrooms hold a special place in my heart. I still remember when I was younger and barely ate any vegetables. Eating mushrooms made me feel like I finally belonged—like I could enjoy vegetables just like the rest of my family—and actually feel satisfied.

Mushrooms changed things for me, and now, sharing mushroom pizza recipes makes me so happy.

I finally got to share the happiness I felt eating them. So, let me share this super easy mushroom pizza recipe with you!

Ingredients

100-125 grams of pizza dough: I’m making this pizza just for dinner, so I use a small amount of dough to make a 6-7-inch pizza. If you’re feeding more people or have a bigger appetite, I recommend using 250 grams of dough. That amount will give you an 8-9-inch pizza with a nice medium crust.

Pizza Sauce: I use white garlic pizza sauce for this recipe. Unfortunately, I didn’t use enough sauce while making this pizza, so you can’t see the creamy sauce oozing in the pictures. But trust me, adding 2 tablespoons of white pizza sauce, even for a small pizza, makes a big difference. You can use regular pizza sauce if needed, but it won’t have the same creamy flavor.

Chicken: You can use roasted chicken, rotisserie chicken, or any type of cooked chicken chunks you like.

Mushrooms: I used about 4-5 chopped button mushrooms for this small pizza. Since it’s a compact size, there wasn’t a lot of room to pile on mushrooms, but they still add great flavor.

Mozzarella Cheese: I used 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese for this recipe. Dry shredded mozzarella works perfectly, but you can also use a good cheese blend if you prefer.

How to make Chicken Mushroom Pizza

1. Roll out the dough, then spread some white garlic pizza sauce and layer it with mozzarella cheese.

2. ADD mushrooms and chicken chunks on top of the pizza and add some mozzarella cheese.

3. Preheat a convection oven at 200°C and cook the pizza at 190°C for about 15 minutes. Your pizza is ready, enjoy!

Tips on making the Perfect Pizza

1. Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven properly to avoid an undercooked bottom and an overcooked top on your pizza.
2. Grease the pan: Grease the pan on which you cook pizza with a small amount of oil to make the pizza base crispier and prevent sticking. Use no more than 1 tablespoon of oil to avoid a greasy base. Alternatively, spraying 2 pumps of oil works just as well.
3. Slice mushrooms thickly: Cut the mushrooms into thick slices to prevent them from shrinking too much during baking. This way, each slice retains the classic juicy texture of mushrooms.
4. Chicken and toppings: Use any type of chicken you prefer for this recipe. Feel free to experiment with additional toppings of your choice. Let me know which topping combinations you try and which ones turn out to be your favorite!
