- Total Time: 20-25 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions. Roll out the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Spread the white sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
- Scatter the diced chicken, chopped spinach, and artichoke hearts over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheeses.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven according to the dough package instructions, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
Feel free to customize your pizza by adding ingredients like sliced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or caramelized onions of desired. For an even crispier crust, preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven before using. For a quicker white sauce, use a store-bought Alfredo sauce and infuse it with minced garlic. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!
