You need to have something delicious right at your home while enjoying the beautiful weather outside. I made this quick and easy and super delicious Pizza for lunch a few days back. I would have never believed Spinach tasted so amazing in a pizza if I had not tried it myself. It gives an awesome burst of flavor and texture to your everyday pizza and I assure you , you would love it! Thank me later!

Method
1. Marinate the chicken with red chilli powder, ground pepper, 1/2 tsp oil, salt, garlic paste for about 30 minutes. Pan fry the chicken. Shred or cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Keep aside.
2. Preheat your oven at 200.
3. Dry roast the garlic cloves.
4. Now take some butter in the pan. Once the butter is hot add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for a few minutes and take off the heat.
5. Now add 1 tsp oil in the pan and add a couple of bruised roasted garlic pods. Add the roughly chopped spinach. Add a few pieces of red chilli. Sauté the spinach for a few minutes till it starts to sweat. Take the spinach out of the pan and squeeze out the water. Keep it on a colander to drain off the remaining water.
6. Now it is time to assemble. Take a flat non stick pan and heat it. Once medium hot place the pizza base and toast it for about 4-5 minutes on medium flame.
7. Now take a microwave/oven safe tray and place the toasted pizza base. Start by applying the Alfredo sauce generously on the base. Next add a layer of cheese. Now start putting the onion slices on the base. Next add the chicken pieces and the sautéed mushrooms and spinach (make sure to squeeze out all water). Add another layer of cheese. I also added some strips of cheese slices on top for an extra cheesy top. Add seasoning, dried Italian herbs and chilli flakes.
8. Bake the pizza for 15 to 20 minutes till done.
Serve and enjoy!
