White Chicken and Spinach Pizza

I Love Pizza.

Seriously, though who doesn't? One of my former kindergarten students was literally the only person I'd ever met who didn't like pizza and I was both shocked and applauded. To be fair the kid was 6. He'll change his mind. 

Throw chicken, onions, and sooooooo much garlic into a pan and cook.

While that was cooking, I chopped up some delicious fresh spinach.

Then, my lovely go to guy, rolled out the pizza dough, because he's so much better at it.

Now, assemble!

 

Pop in the oven for 10ish minutes and then resist the urge to eat immediately.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (chopped into small pieces)
5 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 small onion chopped
sprinkle of salt and pepper
1 cup of fresh spinach chopped
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (or more if you love cheese!!)
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of dried basil
sprinkle of Italian seasoning
sprinkle of cayenne pepper
1 ball of pizza dough (homemade or prepacked)

Preheat oven to 475   ̊F or 220   ̊C. Toss chicken, onions, salt/pepper, and garlic in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and cook over medium heat. Once chicken is cooked through, remove from the heat and set aside. Roll out your pizza dough and brush the olive oil across the top of your crust. Next, spread your chicken mixture evenly across the top of the pizza. Sprinkle the dried basil on top. After that, spread the chopped spinach over top. Finally, sprinkle your cheese across the top. Place the pizza into the oven about 9 - 11 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges.

Serve it up with a little parmesan, or hot sauce for extra seasoning.

Makes one pizza.

4 Cheese Baked Spin Dip

I love dips, especially ones involving cheese. I think the following dip might be my favourite kind of dip ever. Almost every time I got to a restaurant and see a spinach dip on the menu, I order it right away. The ooey gooey cheese combined with the salty chips is simply irresistible. I’ve been craving spin dip recently, but it is almost impossible to find in a restaurant in Korea. So without further adieu... enjoy this tasty treat!

Ingredients

-          200g of cream cheese (one container)

-          Large bunch of spinach

-          1 cup grated pepper jack cheese (you can use any cheese of your choice, I just like the spiciness of the    pepper jack)

-          ¼ cup of sour cream

-          ¼ cup of parmesan cheese

-          ¼ red pepper

-          ½ cup of cheddar cheese

-          Pinch of cayenne pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F). Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and parmesan cheese together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until well combined. Wash and drain your spinach and pat dry. Don’t skip drying your spinach, because it will make your dip soggy. YUCK! Chop the spinach up, toss it into the bowl and mix well. Next, add the pepper jack and mix again.

Spoon the mix into a baking dish and top with cheddar cheese and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper. Pop it into the oven for 20 minutes. Let cool down for 5 minutes and serve with tortilla chips.
