Chicken Feta Pizza Recipes

CHICKEN-FETA PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Place crust on baking sheet; spread with oil. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup mozzarella.
• Top with chicken, tomatoes, feta and remaining mozzarella.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Let stand 5 min. before cutting to serve.

PESTO PIZZA WITH FETA AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• For the dough: Mix the sugar and yeast in 1 1/2 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F).
• Let sit until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the olive oil. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast mixture with the flour and salt and mix on low until smooth.
• Switch to the dough hook and knead on medium, adding a little more flour or water if needed, until the dough forms a loose, sticky ball around the hook. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough is soft, smooth and springy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Put the dough in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the topping: Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic and 3 cups of the arugula. Process to make a chunky paste. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and process until smooth. Add the Parmesan and pulse just until incorporated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• When the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a baking stone on the bottom rack.
• Punch down the dough. Brush an 18-by-13-inch rimmed half-sheet pan liberally with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the pan and press it all the way into the corners (it helps to cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap while pressing so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers).
• Bake on the preheated stone until the dough has puffed and just begins to color, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the oven, loosen from the baking sheet with a metal spatula and brush lightly with olive oil. (The crust can be baked ahead to this point and topped and finished in the oven later, if desired.)
• Spread the pesto on the dough almost to the edges. Top with the mozzarella, feta, artichokes, cooked bacon and jalapeno slices.
• Bake on the top rack until the cheese is browned and crusty, about 8 minutes more.
• In a large bowl, toss the remaining 3 cups arugula with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the jalapeno brine. Season with salt and pepper and scatter over the pizza. Cut into squares to serve.

GREEK PIZZA WITH CHICKEN, FETA AND OLIVES WITH MIXED CHERRY TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roll dough out into a large rectangle and transfer to a large baking sheet. Top dough with mozzarella cheese, to within 1/2-inch of the edges and then sprinkle garlic flakes all over cheese. Top with chicken, mushrooms and olives. Sprinkle feta cheese over top and then sprinkle oregano over everything. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until crust is golden brown and cheese melts.
• Serve with Cherry Tomato Salad.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes and basil. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil and mustard. Add mixture to tomatoes and toss to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

CHICKEN, SPINACH & FETA PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare pizza dough 2-3 hours ahead of time.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a warmed mixing bowl (I use a standing KitchenAid mixer).
• Add salt and flour to mixture and mix with dough hook on speed 2 until dough forms a ball and pulls away from sides of the bowl. Mix on speed two for an additional 2 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with a damp towel and let sit in a warm area without a draft for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
• After it has risen munch it down and then spread the dough over a greased 14-inch or larger pizza pan.
• To make the sauce, combine stewed tomatoes, peppers and garlic in a food processor and puree until they have reached a desired consistency. Strain out excess moisture and spread over dough.
• Make sure that your spinach is well drained by squeezing out any excess water with paper towels. Spread over pizza, followed by remaining vegetables, chicken and finally the cheeses. Brush crust with olive oil.
• Bake at 400 F or until crust is browned and cheese is bubbly.

PEPPER, ONION & FETA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place crust on pizza pan or cookie sheet. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients except cheese. Spoon mixture over crust. Top with cheese.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until vegetables are crispy-tender. Remove from oven and serve.

CHICKEN PESTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Spread pesto sauce over the pizza crust. Arrange chicken pieces and artichoke hearts over the sauce, and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned at the edges.

CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine feta and oregano. Make a pocket in chicken breasts: Holding chicken flat with palm of one hand, make an incision in thicker side of each breast with a paring knife. Carefully pivot the knife to create a deep pocket, keeping the other side of the chicken breast intact. Stuff pockets with feta mixture, dividing evenly; generously season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until browned on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes per side.
• Cover skillet, and continue cooking until chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160 degrees. about 5 minutes more. Remove chicken to a platter, and keep warm.
• To the skillet, add chicken stock, and cook, stirring up brown bits with a wooden spoon until reduced slightly. Add lemon juice and butter. Reduce the heat to low, and swirl pan until butter is melted, and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce.

GREEK FETA CHICKEN

• In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Transfer to a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray., Cover and bake at 400° for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear and potatoes are tender.
