Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, roasted and minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Get it nice and toasty!
- If you’re using a store-bought pizza crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking it slightly.

- In a small bowl, combine the minced roasted garlic with the ricotta cheese. Mix until creamy.
- Spread the ricotta-garlic mixture evenly across the prepared pizza crust.
- Add the sautéed spinach on top of the ricotta layer.
- Sprinkle the diced cooked chicken on top.
- Finish with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Scatter the red pepper flakes over the top if desired.
- Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a minute, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
- Slice and serve warm!
