Turkish-style Chicken and Pistachio Pizza
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tsp. allspice
- 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 6 oz. ground chicken
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 recipe of pizza dough (I use this one)
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
- 1 large handful of flat parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the allspice, cinnamon, paprika, and black pepper. Add chicken, shallot, and garlic and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to 24).
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats up.
- Stretch the pizza dough into rounds, drizzle with olive oil, and top with a thin portion of the seasoned chicken. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the edges of the crust are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the pizzas and immediately top with pistachios and parsley. Serve with Greek yogurt on the side.
Notes
Adapted quite a bit from Turquoise: A Chef's Travels in Turkey.
The recipe below lists the Greek yogurt as an optional addition, but I highly recommend it for the creamy, tart flavor it adds when a small spoonful is dropped on top of the pizza slices.
