Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup whipped cream cheese

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 pre-made pizza crust or flatbread

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken:

    In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet. Season the chicken with garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.

      Prepare the Fruit Topping:

        While the chicken is cooking, take a mixing bowl and combine the sliced strawberries, sliced kiwi, and fresh blueberries. Gently toss the fruits to mix and set aside.

          Make the Cream Cheese Spread:

            In a separate small bowl, mix the whipped cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and well combined. This will create a sweet and creamy base for your pizza.

              Assemble the Pizza:

                Preheat your oven according to the instructions for the pizza crust or flatbread. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza crust.

                  Add Chicken and Fruit:

                    Lay the cooked chicken pieces over the cream cheese spread, ensuring even distribution. Then, artistically arrange the fresh fruit on top of the chicken, allowing the vibrant colors to shine.

                      Bake the Pizza:

                        Place the fully assembled pizza into your preheated oven. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy to your desired texture.

                          Garnish and Serve:

                            Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch. Serve warm or let it cool to room temperature for a delightful appetizer or main dish.
