Spinach, Feta, and Chicken Greek Pizza
- 2- 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Yeast
- 1/2 teaspoons Honey
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 cup Hot Water
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil Plus Extra For Rubbing Onto Your Dough And Pans
- 1 whole Boneless Chicken Breast, Cut Into Slices
- 1/2 whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 1/4 cups Pitted Kalamata Olives, Coarsely Chopped
- 1/2 cups Oil Packed Sun-dried Tomatoes
- 1/2 cups Real Mayonnaise (no Miracle Whip)
- 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic (from A Jar)
- 6 ounces, weight Feta Cheese, Crumbled
- 2 cups Baby Spinach Leaves
- 1 Tablespoon Oil From Oil-packed Sun Dried Tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- Steps for the dough:
- **Note: this recipe requires that the dough be prepared and then refrigerated overnight.
- In a stand mixer, mix the flour, yeast, honey, salt, and Italian seasoning.
- Combine well.
- While the mixer is on, slowly pour in the hot water and the oil.
- Mix until dough forms a ball around the mixing attachment.
- If dough appears to be too sticky, add a small amount of flour.
- When dough has reached the correct consistency, switch to kneading attachment of your mixer, and knead for 3 minutes (kneading can also be done by hand).
- Remove ball of dough from the bowl and add a small amount of olive oil, and coat the ball with the oil.
- Return the ball to the bowl.
- Cover the bowl (make sure the covering is airtight), and let dough rest in the refrigerator overnight.
- When you are ready to bake your crust, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
- Divide your dough into two equal parts, and form each half into a ball.
- Cover the counter in a dusting of flour, and place one ball of dough in the middle of your work space.
- Pat the circle of dough down as flat as you can with your hands.
- Then roll the dough out into a thin sheet, making sure to rotate the dough often.
- Coat a pizza pan (I like to use a pan with large holes -this can also be referred to as a pizza crisper to ensure a crispier crust) with olive oil.
- Coat the pan by using a brush to apply the oil.
- Carefully transfer the thin sheet of dough to the oiled pizza pan.
- Trim the edges using a pizza cutter.
- If you would like to, you can also stretch the dough a bit with your fingers to make a more perfect circle.
- Be very careful because the dough tears very easily.
- Prick the dough with a fork.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough (the listed amount of pizza toppings is enough for one pizza).
- Bake the crust in the oven on the middle rack for 7-10 minutes (depending on how crispy you like your crust).
- Remove from the oven, and allow the crust to cool for 3-5 minutes.
- Steps for the pizza:
- Place your oven rack on the lowest position.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- If you would like chicken on your pizza, cut the chicken into thin slices, and marinate in a small bowl with some olive oil and garlic.
- Heat a pan over low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes, turning often.
- Remove from heat, and set aside for later.
- Chop the onions, and set aside.
- Chop the kalamata olives and sun-dried tomatoes, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic, and 1/2 cup feta cheese together.
- Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly onto the pre-baked pizza crust.
- Top the mixture with the kalamata olives, chicken, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Bake in pre-heated oven (on lowest rack) for 7 minutes.
- While the pizza is baking, in a large bowl mix spinach, onions, and oil from sun-dried tomatoes, and toss until spinach and onions are evenly coated.
- Remove pizza from oven, and let cool for 1 minute.
- Top the pizza with the spinach and onion mixture.
- Top the spinach with the remaining feta cheese and some dried oregano.
- Place the pizza back in the oven, and bake for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove pizza, and let cool for a couple of minutes before cutting and serving.
- What a unique and delicious twist on pizza.
- Enjoy!
