White Pizza with Chicken and Spinach

I love white pizzas as I'm not a huge fan of pizza sauce.  I don't necessarily dislike sauce, but there have been too many occasions where I've had a pizza with waaay too much sauce for my liking.  Perhaps that's because my parents love to order their pizza with extra sauce and naturally growing up I ate what my parents put on my plate.  

My husband, however, won't even try a white pizza.  He doesn't like a lot of sauce either (don't we work well together?!!), but he doesn't like to think outside the box much.  Lately I've been making a lot of smaller pizzas so we can both have what we want.

Not too long ago I threw together what is, in my opinion, the perfect pizza. Garlic Olive Oil Sauce, cheese, spinach, basil and grilled chicken.  Um, hello deliciousness; I love you!


I don't really have a recipe to share, but this pizza was too good to not share the general idea...

White Pizza with Chicken and Spinach
Ingredients:
Pizza Dough (homemade, store bought, precooked - whatever you prefer)
Garlic Infused Olive Oil (easy to make - just heat olive oil in a sauce pan and simmer with some roughly chopped garlic cloves)
Shredded Mozzarella, to taste
Grilled Chicken Breast, chopped in to small pieces
Chopped fresh spinach
Chopped fresh basil
Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, to taste

Directions
Cook pizza dough as directed on it's directions.  Brush liberally with garlic olive oil.   

In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, chicken, spinach and basil.  Sprinkle evenly on top of the crust and sprinkle with pepper flakes.  Bake in oven until dough is cooked through and/or until cheese is melted.

Remove from oven, slice and serve.

    That looks tasty!! I will have to try adding chicken and spinach to my white pizza. I typically just use the ricotta and mozzarella. I like the idea of simmering the garlic and olive oil together. I like to throw some garlic and olive oil in the processor together and brush that on!

    This pizza looks great. It would be so easy to throw together the next time I have leftover chicken.

    I had a pizza like this at a little place in Marion, Ky. and I have wanted the recipe. This sounds like what I ate there and it was wonderful. I'll be trying this out soon! Thank you so much! :) Lynn :)

The Best Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

A fabulous vanilla cupcake recipe is something everyone needs. EVERY.ONE. Not just bakers. Not just parents that host a lot of kid parties. Everyone. I've tried several, and many have been phenomenal. Then I tried Amy Sedaris's after finding the recipe online, and it was above and beyond the best vanilla cupcake I've ever made. It was an easy batter to make, baked up beautifully, and most importantly - tasted amazing. Regardless if you have never made vanilla cupcakes and need a recipe to start with, or even if you think you have the best - give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed! Vanilla Cupcakes Ingredients: 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 cups milk Directions: - Preheat oven to 375 degrees. - Mix butter at medium speed until smooth.

Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker Beef Chili

I don't experiment much with chili because it rarely goes well for me and my family. I've slowly adapted my chili recipe over the years, but I've still always used canned chili beans, with a flavored sauce. I've been wanting to try regular beans (whether canned or dried, I wasn't discerning, just didn't want the sauce), so off to the Googles I went rather than trying to recreate the spice blend from my normal canned beans. Because I was originally planning to make chili in the Instant Pot, that's where I focused my search. Thankfully the recipe I decided to try was adapted from a Slow Cooker recipe, because life got in my way and I wasn't able to make the chili the night before as planned, and I wouldn't have had time to use the pressure cooker with my schedule that day. What drew me to this recipe was the simplicity of the ingredients. And lack of jalapeno. Because somehow nearly every time I plan chili I forget to buy a jalapeno, even if it

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
