Experimenting with Pizza

   After continuing to cook pizzas at least once a week, my love for them has grown even more. I have done a handful of breakfast pizzas since my last post and redone the BBQ chicken one as well. This time we decided to do something new, and it was definitely a great choice. All of the topping flavors complimented each other so well. I'd definitely say it is one of my favorite kinds of pizzas, and my boyfriend agrees!


The roasted red peppers give a burst of sweet flavor, it's a nice change up from raw peppers, and it pairs perfectly with the spinach and creamy feta. Maybe it is just because I absolutely love feta cheese, but this pizza is seriously delicious. I think feta should probably be put on every pizza I make from now on....
I threw chicken on there too because we had some that needed to be cooked, but it would be just as good without it!


Roasted Red Pepper Pizza with Chicken, Feta and Spinach
Ingredients:
1 premade pizza dough (portland pie co!)
2 tbsp cornmeal
1 cup pizza sauce
1 chicken breast, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
5 oz baby spinach
Salt & pepper to taste
1 10 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cups mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp garlic powder


Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat one tbsp of olive oil is pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and onion to heated oil along with paprika, tsp salt and tsp pepper and cook until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. 
Heat the other tbsp of oil in another pan over medium heat, and add spinach, stirring until wilted, about 5 minutes, remove from heat. 
Sprinkle cornmeal onto pan and Stretch dough and place on top. Brush olive along crust and top with tbsp garlic powder. Spread with pizza sauce and sprinkle 3/4 of the cheese. Top with the chicken and onion mixture, spinach, peppers and feta then add the remaining mozzarella. Cook in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and crispy.
