Ingredients
-
½ cup jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 clove garlic, peeled
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough
-
½ cup chopped cooked chicken
-
½ cup chopped spinach
-
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
-
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Directions
-
Position rack in lower third of oven and place a large cast-iron skillet on it; preheat to 450°F.
-
Combine red peppers, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth.
-
Roll and/or stretch pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully place the pan on a heatproof surface (remember, the handle will be hot), and transfer the dough to it. Spread the sauce over the dough and top with chicken, spinach, mozzarella and goat cheese.
-
Bake the pizza on the lower rack until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with basil, if desired.
