Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
2 ¼ teaspoons lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
ground black pepper to taste
1 (14 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, place in oven to preheat.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and season with basil, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
Unroll pizza dough on preheated pizza stone or a large baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread spinach mixture over dough, leaving a small border at the edge of the pizza crust. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Press tomato slices into seasoned bread crumbs until coated; arrange tomatoes over pizza. Spread remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and feta cheese over tomatoes.
Bake in preheated oven until pizza crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

ALMOST LIKE CPK GREEK PIZZA

Almost Like Cpk Greek Pizza image

I REALLY like California Pizza Kitchen's Greek Pizza. It's light, refreshing and I found myself thinking about this pizza so much, I had to find a way to make it at home. This recipe is a work-in-progress and would love to hear your suggestions. I'm basing this recipe off of some of the information found here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080930103528AA7XB96 I obviously made tweaks here and there. CPK doesn't use Hummus, but I personally thought that would be good and was pleasantly surprised that it worked! You can obviously use Bread/Pizza Dough, but I don't have that kind of time after work so I did use store bought Flatbread/Pitas and Hummas. The Chicken can be marinated in the rub and/or cooked before hand. The Prep Time can also be reduced by chopping the veggies and making the Tzatziki sauce the night before. Serving size is negotiable. 2 6" pita pizzas is a serving in our house, but if you serve this with a salad you could probably go one each. Can be veggie just by omitting the chicken.
