Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-14 inches) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 piece (about 8 ounces, cooked and shredded) Chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 1 cup (loosely packed) Baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside to heat.
Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. If not already cooked, grill or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked, then shred using two forks and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and heavy cream until combined. This will serve as your pizza sauce.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out your pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Place it on a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to create a golden crust when baked.
Spread the Dijon mustard sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the base layer.
Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, sliced red onions, and baby spinach on top of the cheese layer.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pizza.
Carefully slide the pizza (on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
