Ingredients

  • 2-4 tsp olive oil divided
  • 1/2 lb uncooked chicken breast
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 Granny Smith apple diced into small pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 3 tbsp pesto divided
  • 1 8 oz packaged non-refrigerated round pizza crust
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves about 2 cups
  • 1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 c feta cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 (or whatever temperature your pizza crust package says).
  • Heat up a teaspoon or two of oil (depending on the size of pan you're using) in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add chicken breast to the skillet. Immediately season with salt and pepper on both sides. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken.
  • Cook chicken over medium heat until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Remove from heat and transfer chicken to a plate or cutting board. Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Chop apple into small chunks. Evenly coat apple chunks in 1 tbsp pesto.
  • Drizzle 1-2 tsp olive oil over the top of the pizza crust. Spread evenly with a pastry brush or spatula. Add remaining pesto (2 tbsp) on top of the pizza crust and spread evenly.
  • Evenly sprinkle spinach leaves over the top of the crust, followed by the chicken and the apple chunks.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and feta cheese on top to coat the other ingredients.
  • Bake in oven for 12 minutes (or for the time duration listed on your pizza crust package).
  • Remove from oven, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

You can use refrigerated pizza dough for this, you will just have to adjust the recipe accordingly. I typically use the non-refrigerated crust (I always find it on the pasta aisle of the grocery store) just like I used in this recipe, but both will work as long as you adapt the recipe to the directions on the refrigerated crust if that's what you decide to use!
