The Chizza
I think it’s funny that the Chizza is basically a Chicken Parmesan, but in the same respect, a Chicken Parmesan is basically a Chicken Pizza, so who’s really at fault here? Politics aside, I truly believe that adding pineapple to this creation really elevated the dish providing a unique sweet refreshing taste to chicken.

Recipe Type: Entree
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 Chizza
Ingredients:
- Chicken Breast
- Buttermilk
- 1 Cup Chicken Breader
- 1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Powder
- 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
- Thick Tomato Sauce (add tomato paste to thicken)
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Toppings:
- Pepperoni
- Pineapple
- Diced Green Pepper
Instructions:
- Start by butterflying your fat chicken breast. Fold it open and then
pound it out with a meat tenderizer until the chicken is uniformly
the same thickness roughly ¼" thick.
- Soak the chicken in a buttermilk bath with salt & pepper and
refrigerate over night. This acts as a brine allowing the salt to
tenderize and moisten the chicken bringing all the protein fibers
together.
- For the seasoned flour mixture I like using store bought chicken
breaders. If those are not available for you, it's generally a
mixture of 1 Cup Flour, 1 Tsp Salt, ¼ Tsp Pepper, 1 Tsp Garlic
Powder, ½ Tsp Cayenne, 1 Tsp MSG and ½ Tsp Paprika.
- To give this a pizza flavor, I also added in 1 Tbsp of Parmesan
cheese, 1 Tbsp of Italian Seasoning & 1 Tbsp of Tomato Powder.
- Dunk your chicken into the breading and once fully coated, spoon in a
few drops of the buttermilk to add nice little breading crust balls
on to the chicken for texture and taste.
- Now deep fry at 350°F for 5 minutes. Flip halfway through if
necessary.
- Drain and place on a baking sheet where we will now add the tomato
sauce, cheese and pizza toppings.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Cut into quarters and eat it. Should taste like chicken parm with
pineapple. I guess the only difference really with fried chicken is
that you can eat it with your hands.
- Congrats on waiting 12 hours to eat this. I caved and drove to KFC.
