HOME MADE PAN CHICKEN PIZZA


Although the term 'pizza' was documented for the first time in 977 in Southern Italian town of Gaeta, but the history of origin of this yummy preparation is not very clear or well-documented. Foods similar to pizza have been prepared since the neolithic age. Records of people adding other ingredients to bread to make it more flavorful can be found throughout ancient history. This process of innovating new toppings of this flat-bread is still on. Everyone is in the race of making the topping something new with their innovation.
So, this recipe would show how I made chicken pizza in my own way at my home using a frying pan.

INGREDIENTS

Home-made pizza base-1
Pizza sauce-2 tbsp
Oregano-2 tsp
Parseley-2 tsp
Chilli flakes-1 tsp
Cream Cheese-1 tbsp
Mozzarella cheese
Boneless Chicken cubes-10-15 (boil the chicken cubes with salt, crushed pepper powder, 1 inch ginger piece, few crushed cloves of garlic)   
Veggies- Capsicum, tomato, onion (all diced)
Boiled American sweet corn-1/2 cup
Olive oil-1 tbsp
Finely chopped Garlic-3-4 cloves

METHOD

Take a non-stick frying pan and grease it with a few drops of olive oil. Then put the rolled out pizza base on it and prick it all over with a fork. Cover it with a lid. Let the base lid-cook in slow flame until it becomes almost done and then turn the base up-side-down, and let this down side cook for about 3-4 mins. On the other hand, prepare the pizza topping. In another pan, take 1tsp of Olive oil and saute little garlic, onion, chicken cubes, capsicum, corns, tomato for a few seconds. Then add little salt, tomato ketchup, dry herbs, chilli flakes and pepper powder. Mix well all the ingredients. When the pizza topping is ready, now it's time to assemble all the ingredients together. Take the cooked pizza base, spread the pizza sauce first on the base. Then put the cream cheese properly on the whole pizza. Now put the topping on it so that it covers the base nicely. Grate mozzarella cheese covering the whole pizza. Take the pizza back to frying pan and again put the lid on it,  But this time, we wont keep the frying pan on direct flame, instead we would keep a griddle (tawa) first over flame and then put the frying pan on it. This will help to save the pizza from getting burnt. Cover and cook the pizza till the cheese melts nicely.
