Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the whole wheat bagel in half, creating two halves, and place them on a baking sheet.
Lightly spray each bagel half with olive oil spray to ensure a crispier base.
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on each bagel half.
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken breast, chopped into small pieces, over the pizza sauce on each bagel half.
Distribute the sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, and a few spinach leaves evenly over the chicken on each bagel.
Sprinkle part-skim mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings on each bagel half.
In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the cheese on each bagel half.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bagel are starting to brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bagels cool slightly before serving.
