This recipe will come out best by using a pizza stone and a pizza peel for transferring the pie to the hot oven. Or you can also use 1 large or 2 small sheet pans, turned upside down and lightly oiled. If you have a pizza stone, center it in the oven and heat at 500°F for 1 hour before baking the pizzas.

Follow the directions on the pizza dough package so that the pieces are ready to be rolled out and baked about 30 minutes after the chicken comes
