Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (10-inch) Whole wheat or protein-based pizza crust
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 3 ounces Shredded mozzarella cheese (reduced-fat, if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 ounces Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced (e.g., cremini or button)
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If your pizza crust requires pre-baking, follow the package or recipe instructions.
Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush it lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the ricotta layer.
Distribute the sautéed garlic, cooked chicken, sliced mushrooms, and baby spinach on top of the mozzarella cheese.
Season the toppings with the salt and black pepper, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the pizza.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of truffle oil over the top for an aromatic, gourmet touch.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
