Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12 inches) Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
• 1 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts, canned (low sodium), drained and quartered
• 1 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Cooked skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Black olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (250°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

On a floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper.

Step 3

In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the base layer.

Step 6

Distribute the artichoke hearts, sliced mushrooms, chicken breast, and black olives evenly over the cheese.

Step 7

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the chopped fresh oregano and black pepper over the pizza toppings.

Step 8

Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, carefully slide the parchment paper with the prepared pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

Step 11

Slice the pizza into 8 slices and serve warm.
