This Cranberry Chicken & Brie Pizza is a bold, elegant twist on traditional pizza. With creamy brie, savory chicken, tangy cranberry sauce, and sweet pineapple, it brings harmony to contrasting flavors. Perfect for festive dinners or cozy weekends, it’s a must-try for anyone craving a sweet-savory upgrade to pizza night.
Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
5 ounces brie cheese, sliced
1/3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to parchment paper.
3. Brush olive oil evenly over the dough. Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Distribute the cooked chicken over the mozzarella. Spoon cranberry sauce across the pizza and scatter brie slices. Add pineapple chunks evenly.
5. Transfer the pizza on parchment to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–14 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
6. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature dough to avoid tearing and ensure even cooking.
Whole berry cranberry sauce adds texture—avoid jellied versions unless that’s your preference.
Reheat leftovers in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain a crispy crust.
