  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

  • Roll or stretch pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place on a pizza pan or baking sheet.
  • Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese, chicken, and asparagus.

Notes

Tip: Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut and makes this pizza even easier to pull together on a busy weeknight. You can also just add chicken and asparagus to a Frozen pizza to elevate it into something special.
