What is caprese?

One of my favorite things to make is a simple Caprese salad. It’s made by layering a slice of fresh tomato, a slice of fresh mozzarella, and a fresh basil leaf. Then top with a bit of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It’s amazingly, easy, yet so completely delicious!

I’ve taken this fresh treat and made it into a pizza!

Ingredients Needed

ingredients for chicken caprese pizza on a table

Naan. When making pizza at home, I love using Naan bread when you don’t have time to make pizza dough. Naan is an Indian-style Tandoori flatbread. The Naan is great to work with, as it holds up well with lots of toppings, but still has a nice crisp texture when baked.
Chicken. Buy rotisserie chicken, make a whole chicken in the oven at home, or use leftover shredded chicken.
Balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. This is what makes the balsamic reduction to drizzle over the pizzas. You can buy this pre-made in the grocery store, but homemade balsamic glaze is easy, too.
Tomatoes. Use any type of tomato you prefer. I picked up a package of tri-color grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes. I’ve also used sliced Roma tomatoes, and even heirloom tomatoes.
Fresh mozzarella cheese. I prefer mozzarella balls over the slices because they cook a little more quickly.

How to Make Chicken Caprese Pizza

This Chicken Caprese Pizza is quite simple to make. You’ll want to make sure you have shredded chicken on hand. You can use rotisserie chicken or even grilled chicken if you’d like.

Brushed the Naan with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Add the chicken, fresh mozzarella cheese, and sliced tomatoes.

Bake pizzas for 10-12 minutes.
While the pizzas bake, make a balsamic reduction. In a small saucepan, add the ½ c. of balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring often. Liquid will reduce by half. Set aside.

Then top with some fresh basil leaves, and a balsamic reduction to mimic that wonderful Caprese flavor.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Switch up the meat. Instead of chicken, use Italian sausage or prosciutto.
Add more flavor. Try basil pesto, diced red onion, garlic cloves or even a dash of red pepper flakes.
Change the cheese. Don’t have fresh mozzarella? Use goat cheese or Parmesan cheese.

What to Serve with Chicken Caprese Pizza
