Ingredients
1batch homemade pizza crust doughSee notes
1tbspolive oil
1cupAlfredo sauceSee notes
1cupfresh baby spinach leavesroughly chopped
1cupshredded mozzarella cheese
2slicesof provolone cheese
1 1/2cupscooked chickencut into small chunks
Instructions
Place a pizza stone on the center rack of your oven and preheat it to 450°F for at least 30 min.
Meanwhile, prepare the pizza. Roll your pizza dough out to a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
Brush a tablespoon of olive oil around the center edge of the dough to help the crust brown.
Spread the alfredo sauce over the middle of the pizza.
Top with the chopped fresh spinach.
Sprinkle half the shredded cheese over the spinach and sprinkle the cooked chicken evenly over the top. Cover with the remaining shredded cheese.
Tear the slices of provolone into smaller chunks and add them anywhere the top needs a little more cheese. Cover some of the chicken chunks but leave some exposed so you can see your toppings.
Slide the pizza on the parchment onto a metal baking pan. Use the pan to transfer the pizza to the hot stone in the oven. Carefully slide the parchment onto the stone directly and remove the metal pan.
Bake the pizza for 12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese has melted and the pizza is nice and bubbling.
Carefully tug on the parchment paper to slide the pizza off the stone and onto the metal pan for bringing the pizza out of the oven. Let cool briefly, slice and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
Pizza Crust Notes:I highly recommend making homemade pizza dough for this recipe. It takes just minutes in a bread machine and makes a world of difference in the quality of the final pizza.However, you can substitute a fresh pizza dough or a pre-made pizza crust from your local grocery if you prefer.Alfredo Sauce Notes:I highly recommend making our favorite Alfredo sauce recipe from scratch. It only takes a few ingredients and a few minutes. You can use half of it for another dinner and one half for this recipe.However, you can also substitute your favorite prepared Alfredo from the grocery.Chicken Notes:You can use whatever leftover cooked chicken you have on hand for this recipe. You could also use shredded rotisserie chicken but I highly recommend this super-quick healthy chicken tenderloin air fryer recipe.
