Ingredients

  • 1 large (30cm) pizza base
  • 1 2/3 cups (150 g) Perfect Italiano™ Perfect Pizza cheese

  4. Once rested, slice into thin strips or roughly shred
  5. In a small bowl, mix the Perfect Italiano Smooth & Creamy Ricotta with the lemon zest, ½ of the chopped basil, and season with salt and pepper
  6. Spread evenly over the pizza base. Sprinkle over the Perfect Italiano Perfect Pizza to evenly cover the base
  7. Top with the sliced zucchini and chicken
  8. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and base becomes crispy
