🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Getting the oven to the right temp is key, no one likes a soggy pizza!
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet. This prevents sticking and ensures a golden-brown bottom. A little cooking spray works wonders!
  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. If you are using a pre-made crust, skip this step, duh. Just make sure its not TOO thin or itll burn on the bottom.
  4. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Gently press it to fit the pan. If you're feeling fancy, crimp the edges for a rustic look.
  5. Bake the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. This pre-baking ensures the crust is sturdy enough to hold the toppings. Keep a close eye on it; ovens can vary!
  6. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Not too much sauce, or it will get soggy again!
  7. Sprinkle about half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. This layer will help everything stick together beautifully.
  8. Arrange the cooked chicken nuggets evenly over the cheese. Cut them in half if they're too large. No one wants to fight with giant nuggets!
  9. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the chicken nuggets. Feel free to add a bit more if you're a cheese lover!
  10. Optional: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. A little goes a long way!
  11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. Watch it carefully; you want melty, not burnt!
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. This prevents cheese from sliding everywhere. Trust me, you want to wait!
  13. Slice into bite-sized pieces with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Serve immediately and enjoy! I like to sprinkle a tiny bit of fresh parsley on top for a pop of color.
