Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions. Roll out the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Scatter the diced chicken, chopped spinach, and artichoke hearts over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheeses.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
