Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (or leftover turkey)
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (Optional)

  • Arugula or fresh spinach for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), or follow the instructions provided on your pizza crust package to ensure optimal baking temperature.
  2. Prepare Pizza Crust: Roll out your pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone to your desired thickness. Lightly brush the surface of the crust with olive oil to help achieve a crispy texture once baked.
  3. Mix Cranberry & Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with cranberry sauce. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sweet and tangy cranberry mixture.
  4. Assemble Toppings: Evenly spread the cranberry-coated chicken over the prepared pizza crust. Arrange slices of Brie cheese uniformly across the pizza, followed by sprinkling shredded mozzarella cheese and thinly sliced red onions.
  5. Season & Drizzle: Drizzle the entire pizza with olive oil. Sprinkle fresh or dried thyme leaves over the top, and season with salt and pepper according to taste.
  6. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly, and the crust turns golden brown.
  7. Add Fresh Greens: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Optionally, top with fresh arugula or spinach for a peppery, fresh contrast before serving.

Notes

  • Using leftover cooked chicken or turkey is a great way to repurpose holiday leftovers.
  • Substitute Brie with another creamy cheese like Camembert if desired.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pizza crust.
  • Ensure Brie is rind-on for added flavor and texture.
  • Adding fresh greens like arugula adds freshness but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Adjust baking time depending on your oven and crust thickness.
