Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1.5 cups Cooked roasted chicken, shredded
• 1 cup Canned white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Baby spinach or arugula
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for rolling out dough)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza stone if available.

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the white beans, garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a creamy white bean spread.

Step 5

Spread the white bean mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the white bean spread.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the shredded roasted chicken and red onion slices across the pizza.

Step 8

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza and add a light sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Step 10

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 11

After removing the pizza from the oven, scatter the baby spinach or arugula over the top.

Step 12

Let the pizza cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing and serving.
