Ingredients

• 1 medium (10-inch) Whole wheat or protein-based pizza crust
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 3 ounces Shredded mozzarella cheese (reduced-fat, if preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 ounces Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced (e.g., cremini or button)
• 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If your pizza crust requires pre-baking, follow the package or recipe instructions.

Step 2

Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush it lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

In a small skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the ricotta layer.

Step 6

Distribute the sautéed garlic, cooked chicken, sliced mushrooms, and baby spinach on top of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Season the toppings with the salt and black pepper, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the pizza.

Step 8

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of truffle oil over the top for an aromatic, gourmet touch.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
