Prosciutto Pizza Margherita with Grilled Chicken

 Prosciutto Pizza Margherita with Grilled Chicken. A thin crust margarita pizza base is used to build this incredible prosciutto pizza with a combination of flavours in what may become your ultimate pizza combination.

This prosciutto pizza may just become your new favourite combination of flavours ever on a thin crust pizza. It’s so intensely flavourful.

The Margherita Pizza is said to have been invented in Naples by a local baker in 1889 to celebrate a visit to the city by Italy’s Queen Margherita. The three original toppings were said to represent the colours of the Italian flag; basil for the green, tomato for the red and mozzarella for the white.

I now use my homemade prosciutto for this recipe.

I do make a Margherita Pizza that is true to those original ingredients which is quite delicious. Here though, I have added a couple of extra flavour elements to this prosciutto pizza that work very well together.

The roasted tomato jam as a base has the full natural sweetness of the tomatoes. This is brought out in the cooking process which works as a great counterpoint to the saltiness of the kalamata olives, prosciutto and Parmesan cheese.

All of this is supported by a fantastic crispy, chewy, thin crust that I’ve grown just a little too fond of these days.
