Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 cup fresh mixed fruits (such as strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries), diced

1 cup pizza sauce, homemade or store-bought

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Optional: 1/2 cup diced red onion for a flavorful kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. While the oil heats up, season the diced chicken breast with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

    Cook Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chicken should be golden brown and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center.

      Add Sauce and Fruits: With the chicken cooked to perfection, reduce the heat to low. Pour the pizza sauce into the skillet, stirring to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Carefully fold in the fresh mixed fruits, allowing them to warm gently for about 2-3 minutes. If you're incorporating the optional diced red onion, add it at this stage, mixing well.

        Cheese Time: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and fruit mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling delightfully.

          Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish your dish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot straight from the skillet or as a vibrant topping over your favorite pizza dough, elevating your meal experience.
