Ingredients

For the Pizza:

  • 1 large pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion or green onion
  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Dough - Start with your pizza dough. If you’re using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling it out. If you're making your own, follow your favorite pizza dough recipe.
  • Step 2: Preheat the Oven - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
  • Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce - In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute until it’s lightly golden. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh basil.
  • Step 4: Roll Out the Dough - On a floured surface, roll out your dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Step 5: Assemble the Pizza - Spread a generous layer of the creamy garlic sauce over the pizza dough. Evenly distribute the diced chicken, diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, chopped artichokes, chopped onions, and fresh spinach leaves on top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and freshly grated parmesan cheese over the toppings.
  • Step 6: Bake the Pizza - Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Step 7: Slice and Serve - Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice it into wedges, garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve hot!

Equipment

  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Rolling Pin

Notes

  • Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve a crispy crust.
  • Don’t overload the pizza with too many toppings, as this can make the crust soggy.
  • Chop vegetables evenly to ensure they cook properly.
  • If using frozen dough, allow it to thaw completely before rolling it out.
