  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 1 12-inch pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or crème fraîche

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar (optional)

  • 3/4 cup dill pickle slices, patted dry

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon fresh dill

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • Cornmeal or flour, for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside to preheat.

  • Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface or parchment paper into a 12-inch circle.

  • In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Remove from heat and mix in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Spread the garlic cream mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

  • Top with shredded mozzarella and white cheddar (if using).

  • Evenly scatter the cooked, shredded chicken over the cheese.

  • Layer dill pickle slices on top of the chicken.

  • Sprinkle with dill and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

 

  • Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with extra fresh dill if you’d like!

Notes

  • Great use for leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken.

  • Want extra tang? Add a drizzle of pickle juice or ranch after baking.

  • For a spicier kick, mix buffalo sauce into the chicken or add sliced jalapeños.
