INGREDIENTS:
1 prepared pizza dough
3 chicken breasts
1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup dry Parmesan cheese
1-2 cups marinara sauce (Mezzetta)
1 egg
1 tablespoon half and half
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1-2 tablespoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS:
Place pizza dough in a greased 14 inch pizza pan.
Use two plates or bowls, and put egg and half in half in one, beating well to combine.
In the other mix the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then the bread crumb mixture coating it well.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil, then add the chicken. (Add more olive oil if necessary.)
Cook until brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board, and cut the chicken in small pieces. Spread the sauce evenly on the pizza dough.
Top with the chicken, then the cheeses, and then the fresh basil. Bake at 425* for 12-15 minutes until cheese is browing and bubbly, and crust in crispy.
