Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared whole wheat pizza crust or flatbread
- 1 cup cooked, shredded or sliced chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted, 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place crust or flatbread on a baking sheet. Spread ricotta cheese evenly, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Top with sautéed spinach, chicken, mozzarella, parmesan, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and cheese is bubbling and golden.
- Let rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Avoid overloading ricotta to keep the crust crisp. For a spicy twist, add Calabrian chili or hot honey before baking.
