Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- Add tinfoil to a baking sheet (this will make clean up easier) and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Brush olive oil on pita and spread it around. This will add a lot of flavor to the pizza crust, as well as adding in a good source of healthy monounsaturated fats.
- Sprinkle fresh minced garlic on top of the pizza crust. Again, this will add a lot of flavor, so spread it around evenly to avoid getting a big chunk of garlic in one bite.
- Spread tomato sauce on top of the pizza crust.
- Add thinly sliced tomatoes.
- Next up is the spices. Don't be shy, spice it up by adding basil and oregano to the pizza.
- Add a dash of sea salt to your palm and sprinkle it over the pizza so you don't overdue it. Then add some black pepper.
- Next up is one of my special ingredients, crushed red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat. Go easy and spread it evenly, as it can be hot if you get too much in one bite.
- Add the pre-cooked chicken to add a healthy source of protein to the pizza.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and diced pineapple to get the pizza a Hawaiian flavor.
- Before you add the cheese, put the pizza in the oven for approximately 8 minutes to crisp up the crust.
- As you wait for the pizza to finish baking in the oven, be efficient and fill that time by cleaning up!
- Once the 8 minutes is up, take the pizza out of the oven, then add a small handful of cheese (not too much) on top.
- Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for approximately 2 minutes or more, depending on how long it takes for the cheese to melt.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and give it a taste!
