   • In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water.
   • In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
   • Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture, mixing thoroughly until a dough forms into a ball.
   • Place the dough on a well-floured board and knead until smooth, approximately ten minutes.
   • Lightly dust a large bowl with flour and place the dough in it.
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
   • (Tip: To expedite rising, you can place the dough in a warmed oven. Ensure the oven is warm and turned off when placing the dough inside. Additionally, coat the bowl with a little oil to prevent sticking.)

2. Prepare the Pizza:

   • Marinate the chicken in Italian seasonings according to the packet directions or use your own Italian marinade.
   • Cook the chicken until no longer pink. A George Foreman Grill works well for this purpose.
   • Cut the cooked chicken into strips or chunks.
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it’s about one inch thick.
   • Place the rolled-out dough in a well-greased pie pan, folding the edges over to form a crust.
   • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, followed by a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
   • Add feta cheese to taste, ensuring even distribution across the pizza.
   • Arrange the cooked chicken pieces on top of the cheese.
   • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian seasoning, if desired.

3. Bake the Pizza:

   • Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
   • Check periodically for doneness, ensuring not to overcook.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the pizza from the oven.
   • Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this Deep Dish Chicken-Feta Pizza!
