Easy healthy pizza for the whole family

I love to make homemade pizzas with my boys.  I love it because we can all have what we want for pizza, the boys can make their own, it does not take long at all and the Chicken Spinach Pizza is a great alternative if you are like me and don't really care for pizza sauce.

What you will need for all the homemade pizzas:
"crust"-I like to use Naan bread, Flatout Bread, or whole wheat tortillas
cheese-for my boys I let them use string cheese, I use fresh mozzarella
Sauce-I use Ragu Pizza Sauce for my boys pizzas.
Toppings-whatever you like

The directions are the Chicken Pizza listed below.

For the Chicken Spinach Pizza you will need:
fresh uncooked spinach
chicken, grilled/cooked and cut up-you can use chicken breast that you grilled previously, or just for the pizza.  I sometimes use a rotisserie chicken if I am really hungry or in a hurry.
fresh mozzarella cheese
reduced fat feta cheese
olive oil
spices-I prefer Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb or Mrs Dash Italian Medley

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
in a small bowl place a small bit of olive oil and the seasonings you prefer and mix together (you may not use it all)
On a baking sheet or pizza pan place your "crust"
Use a marinade brush, small spatula or spoon to cover the "crust" with a layer of the olive oil mixture.  *Be careful not to add too much or your "crust" will be soggy*
cover the crust with spinach (how much is up to you)
then add you chicken pieces
finally add your cheeses

Place in the oven for about10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the outside of the "crust" is crispy.


Healthy Eatings!
