How to Make Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pita Pizzas: Step-by-Step

1. Cook the Garlic Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Assemble the Pita Pizzas

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay the pita breads on a baking sheet. Spread a generous spoonful of Alfredo sauce over each pita, leaving a small border around the edges.

Top with the cooked garlic chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and red onions. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over each pizza, and if using, add grated Parmesan and a dash of red pepper flakes.

3. Bake Until Crispy

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are crisp and golden.

4. Slice and Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into quarters. Serve warm, optionally garnished with more Parmesan or chopped fresh basil.
