Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Reduced-fat feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven before preheating.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the dough with olive oil, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, using the back of a spoon to help spread it.
Sprinkle half of the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken breast pieces over the cheese layer.
Add the sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper evenly across the pizza.
Top the vegetables with the remaining low-fat mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with reduced-fat feta cheese.
Scatter the spinach leaves evenly across the top of the pizza.
Season the entire pizza with Italian seasoning and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven, either directly onto the pizza stone or on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot, enjoying a delicious high-protein meal!
