Garlic Glazed Chicken Pizza

This recipe was delicious! The chicken was amazing after it had soaked in the garlic, soy sauce, honey and vinegar. I left out the dried red pepper and green onions and just used mozzarella because I have no idea what Gruyere cheese is. I even made the pizza dough from scratch with the recipe below. Next time I want to cook the chicken the same way but use it in stir fry and serve it with rice and vegetables.
