• 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 200 ml (¾ cup) tomato sauce (pizza or passata)
• 150–200 g (5–7 oz) shredded mozzarella (pizza cheese)

Marinade for the chicken:

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp oregano
• Salt & pepper
⸻
Method:
1. Marinate the chicken
• In a bowl, mix the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Let it rest for at least 20–30 minutes (or longer in the fridge for extra flavor).
2. Prepare the toppings
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan.
• Lightly sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
• Add the zucchini slices and cook briefly (just to remove some water, not fully cooked). Set aside.
3. Assemble the pizza
• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
• Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pizza bases.
• Add the sautéed onion, garlic, zucchini, and marinated chicken on top.
4. First bake (without cheese)
• Place pizzas in the oven and bake for about 10–12 minutes until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
5. Add cheese
• Remove pizzas, sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella, and return to the oven.
• Bake another 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden, and the chicken is fully cooked.
6. Serve
• Slice, sprinkle with a little extra oregano or fresh basil if you like, and serve hot.
