a delicious mix of pizza and chicken

For the pizza dough, sift 400g of flour into a bowl, crumble in the yeast, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of pizza seasoning (or Italian herbs), and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix everything well with a dough hook until you have a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let it rise in a warm place—a slightly warmed oven is ideal. Once the dough has risen, knead it again and let it rise again. You should give the dough 1.5–2 hours to rise; this improves the flavor. In the meantime, prepare the tomato sauce if you don’t want to use pre-made sauce from a jar (not recommended). To do this, add the passata, peeled tomatoes, a quartered onion, 4 teaspoons of pizza seasoning or oregano, a clove of garlic, and a pinch of sugar to a blender, or alternatively a tall bowl and immersion blender. Blend well until you have a smooth sauce. Season to taste with salt and olive oil. If you like it spicier, you can add a few drops of chili sauce or Tabasco to the sauce. Divide the finished pizza dough into four equal parts (or depending on the number of fillets) and roll out thinly. The diameter should be about 1.5 times the length of the fillets. Spread the dough flatbreads with tomato sauce, generously, but leave a border of about 1 cm free. Sprinkle some cheese over the sauce. Now place the fillet on the pizza and top one half of the pizza as desired. Roughly chopped onions are particularly recommended. Pineapple also tastes good. You can let your imagination run wild here, just like with regular pizza. Then sprinkle cheese over the topping and fold the pizza in half so that the free edges overlap. Fold these edges over and seal as tightly as possible. Two or three slits on the top are recommended. Place the pizza parcels on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and sprinkle with cheese, if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan oven) for approximately 35-40 minutes. The pizza-coated chicken breast is then cooked and ready to eat. A salad is sufficient as a side dish. Tips: If you have too much dough and sauce, you can also make small pizza loaves as a side dish, or freeze both for later use. The basic ingredients for this recipe can also be used as a base for regular pizza. It is also ideal as an appetizer or as a snack for a cold buffet. For this purpose, it may be advisable to cut the chicken breast fillets into smaller pieces and pack them into smaller pizza parcels.
