Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, divided
• 1 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced
• 8 Ounces (oz) ricotta cheese
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

4. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta layer.
6. Arrange the cooked chicken, tenderized broccoli, and drained mushrooms evenly on top of the cheese.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve. Enjoy your savory ricotta and herb chicken pizza!
