Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut head of garlic, about 1/4-inch, to expose tops of garlic cloves. Place garlic head, cut side up, in a sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold up all 4 sides of the foil and cover tightly. Place into oven and roast until cloves are golden brown and tender, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool before squeezing cloves from skin; reserve and mince 8 garlic cloves.* Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes; season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, thyme, oregano, basil and reserved garlic cloves; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Top with mozzarella, dollops of ricotta mixture, chicken and spinach. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted. Serve immediately.
CREAMED SPINACH AND CHICKEN PIZZA
This is an awesomely easy pizza that I threw together one night when I was craving pizza but didn't want the red sauce. I usually cook extra chicken breasts in garlic and olive oil and this is what I use for this pizza. You can also use Perdue Short-Cuts and add mushrooms, bacon or roasted tomatoes. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the water, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes.
- Add one cup of flour, and mix to combine. Add another cup of flour, and mix thoroughly.
- Mix for 1 to 2 minutes. The dough should be the consistency of cake batter.
- Add another cup of flour, and mix well.
- Add flour until very thick and you can't mix it by hand very well.
- Sprinkle some flour on your table, and turn the dough onto the table. Knead the dough by hand until it is smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed. This should take 6 to 10 minutes of kneading.
- Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 15 to 60 minutes. (This time varies a lot for me -- I just let it rise according to how long it is until dinner time).
- While the dough is rising, make the creamy spinach sauce. Recipe below.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll half of the dough out on a pizza stone. Bake for 10 minutes. Roll out the other half of the dough on another stone while the first is baking.
- After the 10 minutes of bake time, switch out the dough. Bake the second dough for 10 minutes, too. After you have pre-baked the crust, top with about a cup of the creamy spinach sauce and half of the cheese, chicken, mushrooms, and bacon.
- Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the edges start to brown. Repeat with the second pizza.

Tips:
- For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach, usually 500°F (260°C). This will help create a quick burst of heat that will help the crust rise and become crispy.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet to bake your pizza. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Don't overload your pizza with toppings. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh spinach, chicken, and cheese.
- If you're using pre-cooked chicken, be sure to shred it into small pieces so that it cooks evenly on the pizza.
- Don't overcook the pizza. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly, but the chicken should not be dry.
Conclusion:
Creamed spinach and chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy crust, creamy spinach sauce, and tender chicken, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
