Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole Wheat English Muffins
- 0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
- 1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
- 20 slices Turkey Pepperoni Slices
- 0.5 cup Cooked Chicken Breast
- 1 cup Spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the whole wheat English muffins in half to create four mini pizza bases.
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce on each English muffin half.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the sauce on each muffin.
Add equal portions of cooked spinach and cooked chicken breast on each muffin.
Top with mozzarella cheese, dividing it evenly among the four muffin halves.
Place 5 turkey pepperoni slices on each pizza and sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
Transfer the mini pizzas to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the English muffins are crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
