For the chicken

¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2 small breasts)
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
2
Add the flour, kosher salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and springs back when poked. Shape into a ball, place back in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, until roughly doubled in size.
