Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 package Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Can substitute with store-bought dough
For the Cheese Blend
  • 3/4 cup Part Skim Ricotta Cheese Divided; switch to whole milk ricotta for a richer texture
  • 4 ounces Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese Shredded; low-fat variants work well
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Cooked and Shredded Chicken Breast Best with leftover grilled chicken for easy prep
  • 2 pieces Small Peaches Sliced thin; can substitute with plums or nectarines
  • 1 cup Arugula Offers a peppery freshness; spinach is a milder alternative
For the Finishing Touches
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Pesto Adds a herby flavor kick; homemade is great if you have fresh basil
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • Torn Basil Leaves
  • Balsamic Glaze Use aged balsamic for a touch of elegance

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and coat a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray or drizzle some olive oil.
  2. Roll or press out your whole wheat pizza dough into a 10–12 inch round and transfer it onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of ricotta cheese with pesto and spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the ricotta layer to create a gooey texture.
  5. Layer the cooked and shredded chicken breast evenly across the mozzarella, followed by the thinly sliced peaches.
  6. Bake the pizza in your preheated oven for 10–15 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper, layer the arugula and torn basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
