Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 inches) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts, canned (low sodium), drained and quartered
- 1 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cooked skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (250°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the base layer.
Distribute the artichoke hearts, sliced mushrooms, chicken breast, and black olives evenly over the cheese.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the chopped fresh oregano and black pepper over the pizza toppings.
Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, carefully slide the parchment paper with the prepared pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
Slice the pizza into 8 slices and serve warm.
