Chicken Fennel Pizza | Homemade Pizza Recipe

Chicken Fennel and Pepper Pizza

Do you love homemade pizza? This is a recipe that I had really looked forward to trying as it was not a boring run of the mill pizza. Fennel is a very aromatic herb and dried fennel is one of the ingredients in Chinese Five Spice. Fennel has a licorice or anise flavor and adds a mild, but not overpowering flavor to this dish. Coriander compliments the fennel and lends a flavorful and not so traditional twist to this chicken pizza recipe.

I am adding a link to a whole wheat pizza dough recipe that I make easily in the food processor. You can use whatever dough you prefer, just note that the nutritional information is based on the whole wheat pizza dough (thin crust version).
