Treat your ingredients with care...

Grilled chicken — To ensure juicy and flavorful chicken, marinate the chicken breast in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Caramelized onions — Slowly cook the onions over low heat with a bit of butter or olive oil until they turn golden brown and develop a sweet flavor.
Mushrooms — Sauté the mushrooms in a hot pan with a little olive oil until they are golden brown and any excess moisture has evaporated.

Tips & Tricks

For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken over charcoal or use smoked paprika in the marinade.
Experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, to add depth of flavor to the pizza.
Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the finished pizza for a touch of sweetness.
If you prefer a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the pizza before baking.
Serve the pizza with a side of garlic aioli or marinara sauce for dipping.

Serving advice

Serve the Pizza Inglesina hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and serve as a main course or as part of a pizza party. Pair it with a fresh green salad to complete the meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the pizza with additional fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve it on a wooden pizza board or a colorful ceramic platter to make it visually appealing.
