Spinach Chicken Pizza

Tonight was one of those nights where I just didn't feel like cooking dinner. We just finished cleaning the kitchen, and I really couldn't stand the thought of having to clean it again. Half of our laundry still sat dirty in the hamper, and the last hours of my weekend were winding down. All I wanted to do was call for pizza delivery and sit and wait to be fed. Luckily, I have contingency plans for nights like these.

This recipe for homemade pizza is almost as easy as calling for delivery. To save time, I use pre-made Boboli 100% Whole Wheat Crusts* and pre-portioned sauce packs by Rustic Crust.
The only slightly messy part of this recipe is cooking the chicken, so omit it if you want to make dinner extra easy.


Spinach Chicken Pizza

1/4 lb chicken breast, cubed
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Minced garlic
Salt, pepper to taste
Italian Seasoning
1 pre-made pizza crust*
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup Feta Cheese
A few handfuls fresh spinach


1. Preheat oven to proper temperature (450 degrees for the Boboli crust)
2. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic to skillet. Heat to medium high
3. Once hot, add chicken and saute until fully cooked and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes
4. Remove skillet from heat
5. Spread pizza sauce over crust in an even layer
6. Cover pizza with spinach and sprinkle with feta cheese
7. Bake in oven until cheese is slightly melted and crust is golden brown on the edges (8-10 minutes for Boboli crust)

*If you have extra time or want to avoid the preservatives, you could choose to make your own dough or buy fresh premade dough from a supermarket or pizza shop
