Chicken Pizza Primavera

Chicken Pizza Primavera
(adapted from a Pillsbury recipe)

1 can refrigerated pizza crust (or your favorite pizza dough – I use 5 minute artisan bread)
2 Tbsp. grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
¼ to ½ tsp. garlic salt
2 Tbsp. light ranch dressing
1 (leftover) grilled chicken breast, thinly sliced
1/3 cup finely chopped red pepper
1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup torn baby spinach
1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or Italian blend)
1 tsp. pizza seasoning

Heat oven to 400º. Lightly grease pizza pan or stone with cooking spray. Roll out pizza dough, pressing to the edge of the pan. Lightly spray dough with cooking spray. Sprinkle with Asiago cheese and garlic salt. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread ranch dressing over crust. Top with chicken, pepper, onion, and spinach. Sprinkle cheese and pizza seasoning on top. Bake 10-15 minutes longer until cheese is melted and pizza is hot. Cut into wedges.

Note: the pizza seasoning can usually be found in the spice aisle of the grocery store. If you don’t want to buy it, you can make your own little batch by mixing 2 T. oregano, 1 T. basil, ½ T. onion flakes, ½ T. garlic powder, ½ T. thyme, ½ T. paprika, ½ T. pepper, ½ T. ginger (opt.), and ½ T. fennel (opt.). This is nice to have around – just sprinkle it on regular tomato sauce to make pizza sauce.
