The pesto will act as the pizza\u2019s sauce, adding a rich, tomato-forward flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Layer the salami and chicken<\/strong>: Arrange 8-10 slices of spicy salami across the pizza. Then, sprinkle 1 1\/2 cups of cooked shredded chicken evenly over the salami. The combination of spicy salami and tender chicken will create a rich, savory base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the cheeses<\/strong>: Spread 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza. Then, sprinkle 3\/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top for added depth of flavor and cheesiness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Season the pizza<\/strong>: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon each of dried basil and oregano over the top of the cheese. These dried herbs will enhance the overall flavor with a touch of Mediterranean essence.<a href=\"https:\/\/notycheese.com\/30-minute-rolls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Bake the Pizza<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Slice and Serve<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rest the pizza<\/strong>: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to slice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slice and serve<\/strong>: Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the pizza into slices. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cooking Tips<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pre-cooking the crust<\/strong>: If you prefer a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the pizza dough for 5-7 minutes before adding the toppings. This will help the center of the pizza cook evenly and prevent sogginess from the pesto and other toppings.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pesto variations<\/strong>: If sundried tomato pesto isn\u2019t available, you can substitute it with regular basil pesto or even a marinara sauce. Each sauce will bring its own unique flavor to the pizza.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it spicy<\/strong>: If you love extra heat, feel free to sprinkle red pepper flakes over the pizza before baking. The spicy salami already adds a kick, but red pepper flakes will intensify the spice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using pre-cooked chicken<\/strong>: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover cooked chicken, such as from a rotisserie chicken. If you\u2019re starting with raw chicken, you can quickly grill or pan-fry it with some olive oil, salt, and pepper before shredding it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheese options<\/strong>: Mozzarella and Parmesan are a classic combination, but you can experiment with other cheeses like gouda, fontina, or pecorino for different flavor profiles.<a href=\"https:\/\/notycheese.com\/quick-walnut-rolls-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nutritional Facts (Per Serving, Based on 8 Slices)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calories<\/strong>: 350 kcal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protein<\/strong>: 25 g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates<\/strong>: 30 g\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fat<\/strong>: 15 g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiber<\/strong>: 2 g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong>: 3 g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sodium<\/strong>: 850 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calcium<\/strong>: 25% DV<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Iron<\/strong>: 12% DV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients For the Pizza: Instructions (Step-by-Step) Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dough Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Step 3: Bake the Pizza Step 4: Slice and Serve [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5853,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5852"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5855,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5852\/revisions\/5855"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
