Ingredients

• 1 pizza crust
• 1 chicken thigh fillet
• 100 g fresh button mushrooms
• 3 tbsp black truffle sauce
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• to taste fresh rosemary
• to taste black pepper
• to taste salt

Instructions

1. 1Marinate the chicken

   

   Place the raw chicken thigh fillet in a metal tray and season it with black pepper, salt, and rosemary. Let it marinate for a while to absorb the flavors before cutting it into strips.

   Tip: For best results, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
2. 2Slice the chicken

   

   Transfer the marinated chicken thigh to a clean white cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the meat into thin, even strips so it cooks quickly and fits perfectly on the pizza.

   Tip: Slicing the chicken into uniform strips helps it cook evenly and makes it easier to distribute over the pizza.
3. 3Prepare the mushrooms

   

   Remove the stems from the fresh button mushrooms. Place them on a checkered wooden cutting board and slice them evenly to prepare them for pan-frying.

   Tip: Avoid washing mushrooms with running water; simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth to prevent them from absorbing excess moisture.
4. 4Pan-fry chicken and mushrooms

   

   Briefly pan-fry the marinated chicken strips and sliced mushroom pieces in a non-stick skillet until lightly browned on the outside.

   Tip: Keep the heat medium so the chicken stays tender without burning.
5. 5Spread black truffle sauce

   

   Take a prepared round pizza crust and use a spoon to spread a layer of fragrant black truffle sauce evenly across the entire surface.

   Tip: Spread the sauce right to the edges for maximum flavor in every bite.
6. 6Add the first cheese layer

   

   Sprinkle a generous, even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese directly over the black truffle sauce to create a rich, melted base for your toppings.

   Tip: Make sure the cheese is distributed evenly to create a perfectly melted, gooey base for the toppings.
7. 7Assemble the toppings

   

   Evenly arrange the pan-fried chicken strips and roasted mushrooms over the initial cheese layer, ensuring the toppings are well-distributed across the entire pizza.

   Tip: Distribute the chicken and mushrooms evenly so every slice gets a good portion.
8. 8Top with more cheese

   

   Cover the chicken and mushroom layer with another generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. This top layer will melt beautifully and hold all the toppings together.

   Tip: Mozzarella is highly recommended for its excellent melting and stretching properties.
9. 9Bake in the air fryer

   

   Carefully place the fully assembled pizza into an air fryer basket. Bake it at 180 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes until the crust is thin and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

   Tip: Check the pizza halfway through the cooking time to ensure the top isnt browning too quickly, as air fryer temperatures can vary.
