Resolution Recipe: Spinach and Chicken Pizza

I'm a Pizza Hut kind of girl when it comes to pizza.  Thin Crust, meat lovers or just cheese, extra sauce.  So when I saw a little old lady making Spinach and Chicken Pizza at HEB, I was a little hesitant to try it.  But 2012 is about trying new things, so I did.  And it was, delicious!  Don't let the word spinach scare you.  You can't taste it at all!  I often can't eat leafy vegetables because I can't do the texture of certain foods.  But like I said, you can't taste it at all.  It was very yummy.  So we bought the ingredients, and with the HEB Healthy You (I think that's what it's called), we saved $4 on the ingredients. It's super easy and a great meal!

You will need:

• Pizza Crust (We used a whole wheat, ultra thin crust.  The thinner the better.  We all know carbs are bad.)
• Pizza Sauce (We used traditional, but they also offer a few different flavors.)
• Shredded Chicken (You can make your own, but we used HEB Fully Cooked and seasoned shredded chicken. We used about half of the package.)
• Spinach (We used a handful.)
• Velveeta Cheese (or any other kind of cheese you like)
• You can also add diced tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc.

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Cook your chicken if needed.  Roughly chop a handful of spinach leaves.  Spread sauce on the crust (as much or as little as you'd like; we used 2 tablespoons). Spread the chopped spinach leaves and chicken over the sauce.  Pinch some Velveeta cheese up and place it randomly over the pizza.  (Don't use too much cheese or it could easily turn into not-so-resolution friendly.) Add any other toppings, seasonings, or garnishes you'd like.  Pop it in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of your crust or slightly brown.  For crispier crust, put the pizza directly on the rack. 

We made this for lunch today, and Jonathan's exact response was "F***ing good, babe!"  I think this is one is a winner. :)

There was enough ingredients left over to make another pizza or use them in other things.  I am going to try to make/find and post some other recipes that you can use so you don't waste the left over sauce, chicken, cheese, and spinach.

Enjoy!
