I’m not a huge chicken on pizza fan but Ryan is. Every time we order pizza he tries to get me to order one with chicken on it but I can never seem to do it. However, last week when I wanted to make pizza at home, I decided to give it a try. I must admit, it might have changed me. Then again, this pizza was bound to make me happy since it had a little bit of all of my favorite ingredients, garlic, rosemary, sun dried tomatoes and spinach.
I cheated a bit on this pizza. I didn’t make my own dough. I know, I know, this might be blasphemy in the eyes of some but I didn’t have the time to let it rise not to mention I was out of yeast and didn’t want to go to the store. I keep a frozen pizza dough on hand for an occasion just like this. It’s nice to have that back up plan in a pinch.
If you have the time to make your own by all means do. You might even want to try this one with this pizza.
Servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus two tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pound chicken breasts
- 1 pre-made pizza dough
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, rosemary, white wine vinegar and kosher salt. Place the chicken in the marinade and turn a couple times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- After two hours, slice chicken into bite size pieces and cook over medium heat until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. And lay your prepared pizza dough out onto a pizza pan.
- In another pan heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Brush onto pizza dough.
- Layer pizza dough with 1/2 cup mozzarella, spinach, chicken and sun dried tomatoes. Sprinkle top with Parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Bake 20 - 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden. Serve hot.
Looks delicious. I used to feel like that about pineapple on my pizza, then I finally tried it and got hooked.
I love rosemary….it’s probably one of my favorite herbs! I bet this pizza was incredible!
And frozen pizza dough isn’t bad….seriously, who has time to make their own every single time??? Not anyone I know :)
