Chicken Shawarma Pizza

Mediterranean Chicken pizzas on a cutting board.

This Chicken Shawarma Pizza recipe combines several of my favorite foods to create one super fun meal! Shawarma seasoned chicken is layered on soft pita bread with melty cheese, fresh veggies, and a sweet balsamic glaze, providing so much deliciousness in every bite. My favorite way to use up leftovers, these pizzas are perfect for a quick and easy dinner when I really don't feel like cooking, and my littles always have fun getting to add their own toppings. Plus, they’re ready to eat in less than 20 minutes and have 30 grams of protein!

Equipment

Large Baking Sheet

Ingredients

4-6 pita rounds
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups cooked chicken chopped
1-2 teaspoons shawarma seasoning *see notes
1 cup shredded mozzarella or more!
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1/4 red onion thinly sliced, optional
4 teaspoons balsamic glaze
1 teaspoon flaky salt
Fresh basil to taste chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the pita bread to the baking sheet and drizzle evenly with olive oil, spreading over each pita.
Mix the chicken with the seasoning, then evenly layer the mozzarella, chicken, cherry tomatoes, and sliced onions over each one.
Top with a drizzle of the balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of salt.
Bake for 10-12 minutes (or until onions begin to caramelize, to taste).
Chop the basil and immediately add over each pita. Enjoy!

Notes

If you're able to find shawarma chicken that’s been cooked, then that will always have more flavor. I like to use leftover chicken from my chicken shawarma grain bowls (this is a great recipe for homemade chicken shawarma)!
