White Chicken Pizza

January 19, 2011 By Julie 65 Comments

In this house I know that anytime I make a pizza, it’s guaranteed that it will get eaten.  Even if I screw it up, the mantra seems to be that there is no such thing as a bad pie.  Only the  “this is pretty darn good pizza, pass another slice please” pizza, the “thank you soooo much for making pizza mommy” pizza (trust me, dinner compliments from the six and under crowd are a rare treat so this is the sign of a job well done), and the “Get your hand off that last slice, I called dibs and I’ll fight ya for it if I have to” kickin’ awesome pizza.

This pizza is of the third distinction.  It’s a tomato free pizza loaded with chicken, fresh basil, and fresh spinach.  Trust me, you won’t miss the tomatoes.  I’ve made it twice for my kids now and both times they gobbled it up like it was candy (it could also be that I bribed them with candy if they would eat a piece, but I would never (did I just say never?) do such a thing so we’ll pretend I didn’t just type that).

I made my own crust (my recipe’s here), but you can also use a pre-bought dough or pizza crust and it will still work just perfectly.  Here we go.

Ingredients needed:

2 Small Chicken Breasts, Chopped Small
2 Shallots, Chopped
5 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Large Bunch of Basil, Chopped
1 Large Handful (~ 1 Cup) of Fresh Spinach, Chopped
A Few Good Shakes of Salt and Pepper
6-8 Oz. of the Pizza Cheese of your Choice (I used a fontina, parmesan, asiago, provolone mix)
1 ball of homemade pizza dough (or a pkg. of store bought dough or pre-cooked crust)

Throw your chicken, shallots, garlic and the salt/pepper in a skillet and cook them up on medium heat.

Once they’re cooked through, remove them from the heat.  Roll out your dough and brush the olive oil across the top of your crust.

Not sure what happened to the edge there, but I’m guessing one of my kid’s was so excited they attempted to steal a bite before I could even get the pie in the oven.  They’re hungry like that.

After putting on the oil, grab your chicken mixture and spread it evenly across the top of the pizza.  Pop the basil on top of that.

Next up, the spinach.

Ok, busted.  this is frozen, but I swear the second time I made it I used fresh.  Trust me when I tell you either version works beautifully.

Finally you’ll sprinkle your cheese across the top.  Add as much or as little suits your fancy.  That’s part of the beauty of a pizza; it’s totally the way you like it.  Me?  I like A LOT of cheese.

Pop your finished pie into the oven set at 475 for about 9 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges.

Pull it out and give it a minute or two to set up (if you can wait that long).  Serve it up with a little parmesan, oregano, and red pepper for sprinkling.

Better go get your boxing gloves cuz I just called dibs.

    Oh my gosh Julie, what a gorgeous pizza! I made a pizza recently with no tomatoes and you’re absolutely right – you don’t even miss them. This is my kind of pizza, it has all my favourites on it. My family would definitely gobble this down.

    Mike was just in the mood for a chiken pizza the other day so we ordered one. Never thought of making this myself but now that I saw yours, I have more courage to make it. The pizza just looks right Julie! Great job.

    There is nothing wrong with frozen spinach! I use it all the time and I actually prefer it because it’s already clean and trimmed, and you get way more volume out of the frozen version.

    I love the tomato-less pizza! It looks delicious.

    Have you ever made/tried Caesar Pizza? It’s very tasty. This recipe reminds me of Caesar Pizza. I’m sure you would like it, unless you dislike Caesar dressing.
    I use a Pampered Chef recipe. I bet you could find it online. I would give it to you, but I always look it up. 🙂

    This looks so good! I sometimes make a pizza that’s similar, but I’ve never added spinach, that’s a great idea. Although the one thing I would add is bacon, it always goes great with chicken pizza!

    I stumbled upon your website this morning and made this awesome pizza tonight for dinner. It was very VERY good. I sprinkled some pine nuts under the cheese that I had left over from dinner last night, and it gave it a nice little crunch. thanks for a great dinner idea that I am sure will be requested again and again around here!

    I made this last night and it was wonderful. Actually had enough topping for 2 pizzas. My husband and I ate one immediately, and saved the other one for breakfast. It tasted even better the next day. I used a Bobili already made crust drizzled EVOO on both sides and sprinkled with Italian seasoning blend on both sides – then topped per this recipe. I will definitely make this again – we always have chicken breasts and spinach in the house. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

    I have just recently started doing white pizzas. I usually use some alfredo sauce but the rest is basically the same. Wonderful with shrimp or chicken. Or hamburger, but lose some of the ‘white’ pizza effect. Mushrooms work well and fit the theme.
