Last night I decided to make pizza for supper. I didn’t really want a normal pizza, I wanted something that was a little different. I started thinking about the ingredients I had on hand and about how I could pair those together. After thinking for a while I decided that a spinach and chicken pizza sounded pretty good.
I had some roasted chicken leftover that I thought would be so good on this pizza. The chicken was seasoned very well, so I didn’t want to add a whole lot of other seasonings because I didn’t want there to be too much going on. The spinach sauce was very simple too. All of the elements of this pizza were very easy and simple to make, and when they were put together they complimented each other very well. We really enjoyed this pizza and all the flavors in it and it went well with my new pizza dough recipe.
Spinach Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
4 Ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 Cup cream
1 Pound frozen spinach, drained
1 1/2 Cups chicken, cooked and chopped (I used roasted chicken)
1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 Cup Roasted garlic cheddar cheese, shredded
1 Cup mozzerella cheese, shredded
1 recipe for pizza dough
Directions:
While the dough is in the oven, place cream cheese and cream in a sauce pan over low-medium heat. Once the cream cheese has melted stir in the well drained spinach and stir. After everything is mixed together add salt, pepper and onion powder and stir, then remove from heat.
Remove dough from the oven and spread the spinach mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the chicken over the spinach mixture and then top with both cheeses. Return to oven and cook for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and let cool for just a moment before cutting. Enjoy!
