Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings); preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Drizzle olive oil over a clean work surface. Remove pizza dough from packaging; place on oiled surface. Shape each piece into a ball. (TIP: Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.) Evenly coat top of dough with a large drizzle of olive oil.
-
Cover with a clean kitchen towel; let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Once dough has rested 20 minutes, line a baking sheet (two sheets for 4 servings) with parchment paper. Carefully press and stretch each dough ball into a rough oval shape and place on one side of prepared sheet (you’ll have two dough ovals per sheet). TIP: If needed, use a rolling pin to help roll out dough.
- Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel; let rest 15 minutes. (This will make stretching the dough into a larger shape even easier!)
-
While dough rests, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Tuscan Heat Spice, salt, and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop into ½-inch pieces.
- Return pan used for chicken to medium heat. Add cream sauce base, cream cheese, remaining Tuscan Heat Spice, and 1½ TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings); whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off heat; grate half the Parmesan into white sauce.
-
Once dough has rested 15 minutes, using oiled hands, press and stretch on sheet into larger oval shapes, about 10 inches long and 5-6 inches wide.
-
Evenly spread dough with white sauce; grate remaining Parmesan over top. Top with as much chicken as you like. Brush edges of dough with olive oil.
-
Bake pizzas on top rack until crusts are golden brown and crisp, 14-18 minutes. (For 4, bake on top and middle racks; swap rack positions halfway through.)
- Meanwhile, wash and dry pan used for sauce.
- Separate prosciutto from sheets; halve crosswise. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for sauce over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto in a single layer. Cook until browned and crisped, 2-3 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary. Press down on prosciutto with a spatula for even crisping. If prosciutto starts to brown too quickly, lower heat.
-
Turn off heat; transfer prosciutto to a paper-towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
-
Top pizzas with dollops of basil paste, honey, and crispy prosciutto.
-
Slice pizzas as desired. Divide between plates and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The combination of white sauce, crispy prosciutto, basil, and honey was a hit 🎉; a few found the Tuscan spice blend overpowering and preferred using less.
- Ease of prep: This recipe takes significantly longer than a typical weeknight meal — many noted an hour or more of active prep due to the dough resting steps.
- Suggestions: Use flatbread to cut prep time considerably. Add extra cheese on top if you prefer a cheesier pizza, and consider hot honey for an extra kick. Reorder the steps to cook the chicken and prosciutto first to save time at the end.
- Leftovers: Leftovers were good for lunch the next day, though one reviewer noted the pizza was a bit dry after refrigeration.
- Dough: The homemade pizza dough was widely praised for its flavor and texture; if honey has crystallized in the packet, use your own liquid honey instead.
