Chicken And Spinach Pizza Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Adjust racks to the middle of the oven. Put pizza stone in the oven to preheat while you begin the sauce.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the chicken on the grill pan and grill until cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and dice. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant. Add the flour and cook until light blonde in color. Whisk in the cream, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and season lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Flour your work surface and roll the pizza dough into a 13-inch diameter. Carefully remove the pizza stone from the oven and put the dough on top. Ladle the sauce to cover the bottom of the pizza. Evenly top with the baby spinach, grape tomatoes, grilled chicken and the mozzarella. Brush the edge of the crust with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake the pizza until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately top with another handful of spinach. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the Alfredo sauce in a pot over medium-low heat and let it come to a simmer. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted; turn off the heat.
• On each toasted muffin half, spread 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, a portion of the chicken and some mozzarella. Bake on a baking sheet until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Heat olive oil in large skillet on medium to medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, add chicken and garlic.
• Cook until chicken is done and set aside.
• In another skillet, add water and spinach.
• Cover skillet at medium heat and wait for spinach to wilt.
• Remove spinach and drain.
• Spoon pizza sauce onto crust and spread to desired thickness.
• Cut tomatoes into small pieces.
• Distribute chicken evenly on crust.
• Cover chicken and crust with mozzarella cheese.
• Add spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese.
• Bake for 18 minutes or until crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Drizzle a baking sheet with a little olive oil and place the pizza dough on top to rest before working. (Trader Joe's pizza dough requires 30 minutes sitting at room temperature, so I usually do that first).
• Lay out a large square of foil and place the garlic cloves on top (be sure you leave the peel on!). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with a couple of pinches of kosher salt. Fold the foil into a sealed packet and place in the oven (put it on a baking sheet if you're worried about leaking). Roast the garlic until soft, golden, and fragrant, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel the cloves and discard the skins. Increase oven heat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the pizza.
• Add 8 of the peeled garlic cloves to a small bowl. Smash with a fork. Add the ricotta, 2 teaspoons olive oil, basil, honey, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• If using chicken, heat the outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan on medium-high. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping occasionally, until cooked through (we always check the internal temperature, which should register 165 degrees Fahrenheit). Set aside to cool. Once cool, cut into chunks.
• Stretch the pizza crust into a large (approx. 14-inch) round and place on greased cookie sheet or a pizza stone. If creating one meatless version and one chicken version, split the dough in half and stretch each into smaller rounds, approximately 8 inches or so, and place each on an olive-oil-greased cookie sheet.
• Top the crust(s) with tablespoon-sized mounts of ricotta, as evenly spaced as possible (but it doesn't have to be perfect!) Scatter with spinach and remaining garlic cloves. Top with cooked chicken chunks if using (you may only want to use half of the chicken if you're making two smaller pizzas). Scatter mozzarella cheese over the top(s).
• Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling, 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges with a pizza cutter and serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Place pizza crust on baking sheet. Combine ricotta, dressing, Parmesan and ground red pepper; spread onto pizza crust to within 1/2 inch of edge. Bake 5 min.
• Meanwhile, microwave spinach in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min. Add chicken, bell peppers, lemon zest, tarragon and garlic; mix well. Microwave 1 min.; stir.
• Spread spinach mixture over pizza; top with blue cheese and olives.
• Bake 5 min. or until pizza is heated through and edge of crust is lightly browned. Sprinkle with parsley.

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.
