Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast

• 0.25 cup Reduced-fat feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven before preheating.

Step 2

Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.

Step 3

Brush the dough with olive oil, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 4

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, using the back of a spoon to help spread it.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the cooked chicken breast pieces over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Add the sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper evenly across the pizza.

Step 8

Top the vegetables with the remaining low-fat mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with reduced-fat feta cheese.

Step 9

Scatter the spinach leaves evenly across the top of the pizza.

Step 10

Season the entire pizza with Italian seasoning and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven, either directly onto the pizza stone or on the baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot, enjoying a delicious high-protein meal!
