INSTRUCTIONS

1: Prep the Sauce Ingredients
Cut the tomatoes and chicken breasts into 1cm cubes. Set them aside separately.

2: Cook the Sauce
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the cubed tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking, until the liquid has reduced.

After 30 minutes, add the cubed chicken along with the oregano, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for another 10 minutes. Set the sauce aside.

(Tip: While the tomato sauce is simmering, you can prepare your potatoes!)

3: Prepare the Potato Crust
Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Squeeze out the excess moisture tightly using a clean kitchen towel or a salad spinner.

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.

Line a 25 x 36cm baking pan with parchment paper. Press the potato mixture firmly into the pan, spreading it evenly to about 2cm thickness.

4: Bake and Assemble
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the potato crust for 20 minutes, then remove it from the oven. Leave the oven on.

Smother the cooked tomato chicken sauce evenly over the baked potato crust, then top it with the grated mozzarella cheese.

Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the surface is beautifully golden brown.

5: Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
