Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made crust or homemade ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 1 cup, chopped Plant-based chicken strips
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium, sliced thinly Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, sliced thinly Red onion
- 0.25 cup, sliced Black olives
- 1 cup, loosely packed Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
If using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to come to room temperature as instructed on the package. Roll the dough out into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
Place the rolled-out pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the first cheese layer.
Distribute the chopped plant-based chicken strips evenly across the pizza. Follow with slices of red bell pepper, red onion, and black olives.
Top with fresh spinach leaves, arranging them in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella on top of the spinach to help hold it in place.
Drizzle olive oil over the assembled pizza and sprinkle with dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
