Why You’ll Love These Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pita Pizzas

• Better-than-takeout flavor: Thanks to a trifecta of herbs (basil, oregano, thyme) and a garlicky punch.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll want to grab from your fridge and pantry before starting:

• 4 whole pita breads
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup black olives, sliced
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
• Balsamic glaze (optional but highly recommended)

How To Make Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pita Pizzas

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Crank up that oven to 400°F (because crispy pita is a must). Line a baking sheet with parchment or just set your pita breads directly on the tray—easy peasy.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in your diced chicken and sauté until it’s browned and cooked through—about 5 to 7 minutes.

Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it all sizzle for another minute or two, until your kitchen smells amazing. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Pitas

Brush the remaining olive oil over each pita bread (this helps get those golden, crispy edges). Then divide the chicken mixture evenly among them.

Now for the fun part: Top each pita with mozzarella and Parmesan, followed by the cherry tomatoes, red onion, and black olives.

Step 4: Bake

Pop the assembled pitas into the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are nice and crisp.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Let your pita pizzas cool for a couple of minutes (we know, it’s hard to wait). Then sprinkle with fresh basil if you’ve got it. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for that chef’s kiss moment.

Aneta’s Tip: Make It Your Own

This recipe is your playground! A few swaps or additions to consider:

• Sub in whole-wheat pita for a fiber boost.
• Want a spicy kick? Add crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken.
• Have leftover rotisserie chicken? Use it! Just warm it with the garlic and herbs.
• Kid-proof it by letting little hands help with toppings—just maybe skip the balsamic drizzle for the younger crew (unless they’re fancy toddlers).
