Chicken And Spinach Pizza Recipes

CHICKEN AND SPINACH PIZZA WITH GARLIC WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic. Cook 30 seconds and add cream and parmesan. Continue cooking over medium-low heat until reduced and thickened. Salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Take your pizza dough and let it rise for 30 minutes. Press out onto a large pizza pan, and poke holes in the crust with a fork.
• Pre-bake crust for approximately 10 minutes, or until it starts to get a lightly golden brown color on top.
• Remove from the oven and top pizza with white sauce, mozzarella/provolone cheese, chicken, spinach, and parmesan cheese.
• Bake an additional 10-20 minutes, or until crust is completely cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Brush crust with the garlic butter mixture and enjoy!

ROASTED GARLIC, CHICKEN AND SPINACH WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut head of garlic, about 1/4-inch, to expose tops of garlic cloves. Place garlic head, cut side up, in a sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil and cover tightly. Place into oven and roast until cloves are golden brown and tender, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool before squeezing cloves from skin; reserve and mince 8 garlic cloves.* Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes; season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, thyme, oregano, basil and reserved garlic cloves; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Top with mozzarella, dollops of ricotta mixture, chicken and spinach. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN & SPINACH ALFREDO PIZZA

Steps:

• Roll dough out thin; put on lightly greased cookie sheet and prick holes all over to minimize bubbling.
• Prebake the pizza dough at 425°F for 5-7 minutes, remove from oven.
• Spread alfredo sauce to within 1" of edges.
• Top with chicken, spinach, onion, feta and olives, then mozzarella and parmesan last.
• If you like you can brush some olive oil around the edges of the crust.
• Return to oven and bake at 425°F for 10-12 minutes or until done and bottom is browned.
• Remove from oven and let stand a few minutes before slicing.
• Delicious and even better warmed up the next day; I have also added mushrooms when I had them on hand.

CHICKEN, SPINACH & FETA PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare pizza dough 2-3 hours ahead of time.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a warmed mixing bowl (I use a standing KitchenAid mixer).
• Add salt and flour to mixture and mix with dough hook on speed 2 until dough forms a ball and pulls away from sides of the bowl. Mix on speed two for an additional 2 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with a damp towel and let sit in a warm area without a draft for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
• After it has risen munch it down and then spread the dough over a greased 14-inch or larger pizza pan.
• To make the sauce, combine stewed tomatoes, peppers and garlic in a food processor and puree until they have reached a desired consistency. Strain out excess moisture and spread over dough.
• Make sure that your spinach is well drained by squeezing out any excess water with paper towels. Spread over pizza, followed by remaining vegetables, chicken and finally the cheeses. Brush crust with olive oil.
• Bake at 400 F or until crust is browned and cheese is bubbly.
