Can I put raw chicken on a pizza?

Do you cook chicken before putting on pizza? YES, definitely. The pizza won’t cook long enough for raw chicken to cook all the way through on top of the pizza. For this reason, I start with cooked chicken that has been pulled or chopped.

How do you keep chicken from drying out on pizza?
