Ingredients
- 3 ounces cooked chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch strips
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Dough:
- 2 1/3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 egg whites
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon anise seed
- 8 sprays olive oil cooking spray, or to taste
- Toppings:
- 1/2 pound roma (plum) tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup frozen spinach leaves, broken into small pieces
- 1 ounce portobello mushroom, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 ounce fresh basil leaves
- 1 ounce shredded Cheddar cheese (such as Cabot®), or more to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken on all sides with smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a baking stone on the lowest rack in the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Process oats in a blender until powdered. Add milk, extra-virgin olive oil, egg whites, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and anise seed; blend until dough is just combined and pourable. Pour dough onto prepared baking sheet and use a spoon to spread dough into desired shape.
- Spray dough with olive oil cooking spray; top with chicken strips, tomato slices, spinach, mushroom, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Place baking sheet on the baking stone in the preheated oven and bake until chicken strips are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Top pizza with basil and cheese, close the oven door, and turn off the oven. Let pizza sit in the oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer pizza on the parchment paper directly to the baking stone, cut pizza into 8 slices, and space the slices about 1-inch apart on the parchment paper. Close the oven door and let pizza sit in the oven until crust crisps and moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes more.
