Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 piece (around 8 ounces) chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup (loosely packed) spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Place it on a sheet of parchment paper for easy transfer.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the marinated artichoke hearts. Set both aside.
Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the pizza dough. Evenly distribute the minced garlic over the surface.
Add an even layer of spinach on top of the dough, followed by the chicken slices and chopped artichoke hearts.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese across the pizza, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
