• Spread the pizza sauce on the prepped crust and sprinkle the cheese.
• Arrange the grilled chicken slices and throw in the spinach+arugula.
• Bake for 5 to 6 minutes (or according to package instructions) till the cheese melts.
• Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top, slice and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN, ARUGULA, BLUE CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place pizza crust in medium bowl and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and turn to coat. Add oregano and garlic powder and continue turning. Coat a cookie sheet in corn meal and press pizza dough into a circle on cookie sheet.
• Bake pizza crust at 400 degrees until lightly brown. Poke with fork as it bakes if dough bubbles form. In the meantime, sautee onions in 1 Tbsp olive oil until soft and golden.
• Remove crust from oven and drizzle with 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Cover with sauteed onions. Cover with arugula. Drizzle top with 1 Tbsp olive oil and lemon juice. Slice chicken and place on arugula. If chicken is still warm from the grill, it is even better as it slightly wilts the arugula. Crumble bleu cheese over top. Then add freshly ground pepper. Right before serving, drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
• As an alternative, drizzle with low fat caesar dressing instead of balsamic vinegar.
• Slice and enjoy!

GRILLED PIZZA WITH SHREDDED CHICKEN AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Basic Pizza Dough In a bowl or mix master add the flour, oil, salt, dissolve the yeast in the water and then add to the bowl. Once everything is combined, form the dough into a ball and put it in a bowl, cover with a towel and let rise for about an hour or two. Chicken and Arugula Topping Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let it rest, once it is cool shred the chicken and set aside. Step 2: Wash and dry a bunch of arugula. In a bowl add your favorite bbq sauce, a little tomato sauce, oregano, and salt and pepper. Step 3: Roll out the dough into personal pies, or one large round pie -which ever you prefer. Dust both sides with a little flour, and then transfer to a tray. Take a paper towel and dip it in oil, then oil the bbq grates. Put the pizza dough on the fire; grill each side for about 1-2 minutes. The pizza dough cooks really fast on the grill, if you like your dough soft don't leave it on for too long because it gets crispy very fast. Take the pizza dough off the fire and add the sauce and some shredded chicken on top. Put the pizza back on the grill and turn the heat down to low, close the bbq and let heat for another 2 minutes. Top with arugula! Add a drizzle of truffle oil, or even basil or garlic oil!
