CHICKEN AND SPINACH PIZZA

This is the best pizza my family has ever tried

Categories     Pizza

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg already risen pizza dough
Lots of chives
1 small red onion minced
Lots of spinach
1/2 jar(s) bertoli tomato & basil pasta sauce
1 pkg mozzarella cheese
powdered parmesan cheese
pepper to taste
pan fried breaded chicken strips.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to: what your package of rising dough says. Roll out the dough to desired shape and size. Oil the cookie sheet and put your dough onto it. You cannot pick it back up from the cookie sheet once you placed it on there. It will cause tearing or holes. Spread pasta sauce in a circular motion 1" away from the edge of the dough.
  • 2. Since mozzarella is too delicate to shred, break it up into little chunks and sprinkle everywhere to completely cover the sauce. (When I made this, I had already made the chicken a day before, for dinner. So basically it was just leftover chicken strips.)
  • 3. (If you'd like to make your chicken. Defrost chicken strips or breast. If breast, cut into strips. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Beat enough eggs depending on how many chicken strips you're making. In a bowl, pour in flour, a pinch of salt, pepper and garlic. Stir together with a fork. Dip each strip into the egg, then the flour or vice-versa. Pour in about a half an inch of olive oil into your deep frying pan. Heat on high. Wait till heated then drop in your chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes or less on each side.)
  • 4. Continuing-Proceed to sprinkle broken pieces of the chicken(break by desired size.) Cut your chives and mince your onion and sprinkle them all over. Grab 2 whole handfuls of spinach and sprinkle onto the pizza. Put a little more of the pasta sauce on top of the spinach.
  • 5. Shake the Parmesan onto the edge of the pizza, that'll soon be the crust. Cook to the specific time your dough package says. Before putting into the oven, crack pepper all over pizza. Enjoy!

CHICKEN & SPINACH ALFREDO PIZZA



Chicken & Spinach Alfredo Pizza image

This is my favorite homemade pizza; these are the basic toppings though I vary sometimes depending on what's on hand. I make the dough in my bread machine and add a little garlic powder and basil or italian seasonings to the dough ingredients for extra flavor. Some measurements are approximate.

GINA'S FAVORITE CHICKEN AND SPINACH PIZZA



Gina's Favorite Chicken and Spinach Pizza image

GINA Forget calling up the delivery guy: making pizza is easier than you'd think, and this recipe is perfect for movie watching. I love this pizza because it has my favorite ingredients, chicken and spinach, right on top. You can slice large tomatoes if you like, but I prefer sweet and juicy red and yellow grape tomatoes. Not many people think of the yellow tomatoes, but they add extra color and taste great. PAT Most guys prefer any kind of pig on a pizza, including me, but Gina introduced me to this recipe, and that flavor blast of garlic and red pepper won me over. Make one of these and cuddle up on the couch together.

Yield serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 3/4-pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach, well washed and dried, plus 1/2 cup for garnish
One 16-ounce ball store-bought pizza dough
1 cup grape tomatoes, red and yellow, halved
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Olive oil, for brushing crust

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Adjust the rack to the middle of the oven. Heat a pizza stone or a large, heavy sheet pan in the hot oven for 1 hour.
  • Preheat a grill pan (or cast-iron pan) over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the chicken in the grill pan, and grill until cooked through, 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 10 minutes, then dice into small chunks.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Scatter in the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, until the sauce is light blond in color. Whisk in the cream, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in 2 cups of the baby spinach.
  • Flour your work surface, and roll the pizza dough out to a 13-inch diameter. Place the dough on a large sheet of parchment to transfer it to the pizza stone. Ladle the sauce in circles to cover the pizza thinly. Evenly top the pizza with grape tomatoes, grilled chicken, and the mozzarella in one layer. Brush the edge of the crust with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Carefully place the topped pizza on the pizza stone, holding both edges of the parchment paper as handles. Leave the pizza on the parchment.
  • Bake the pizza until crisp and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and immediately top with the remaining baby spinach. Slice and serve.
