The other night I was going through the fridge doing my weekly, “what do we have and what can I make out of it” treasure hunt. I had a rotisserie chicken I was going to use for something else and it was now begging to be used.
Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza is ready in minutes and tastes AMAZING!!
This Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza is the popular dip that I have amped up with cubed, rotisserie chicken to make it heartier. You of course, can use any leftover chicken you have on hand, but remember this was what I had in the fridge, so I was just using up my leftovers!
Today I was short on time and even shorter on energy, so I used pre-made pizza crusts to speed up the process. Couple that with the rotisserie chicken and packaged and shredded cheeses and I literally had this in the oven in 10 minutes.
Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza is chunks of chicken in creamy spinach and marinated artichoke mixture, topped with mozzarella and cooked until bubbly and delicious!
I had a bag of frozen spinach in the freezer, a large Costco size jar of artichoke hearts and I was ready to go! Actually, the thing that took me the longest was just pulling the chicken off the bone and cutting it up into bite size pieces, but again, that only took a few minutes.
To make this speedy Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza, you will need 2 large pre-cooked pizza crusts. Whether you make your crusts from scratch, get pre-made crusts that you thaw and roll out or something like this Boboli crust, it doesn’t matter. All are welcome to this pizza party!
You will need chicken that has already been cooked. It can be packed and ready to go or one that you need to remove from the bone and chop up. The rest of this recipe is pretty standard with regard to the dip, with a few alterations.
You will mix the mayonnaise, spices, chopped and drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, two different cheeses together, then add in the chopped or shredded chicken and mix until well incorporated.
This is enough to make two very large pizzas, so if you only have one crust you are working with, you can either put the extra topping mixture in a shallow baking dish and make it into a hot dip or cut your recipe in half and go from there.

You can also prep the topping a day or two ahead of time and keep in the fridge, so when you are ready to make the pizzas, remove the pre-made topping combination from the refrigerator and spread onto the crusts and then pop into the oven.

We love Chicken, Spinach and Artichoke Dip Pizza at our house. What is your favorite homemade pizza?
So incredibly flavorful. This pizza is very flavorful and when you come across a chunk of artichoke heart, big time bonus, (so make large chunks). We added red pepper flakes to spice things up. Really enjoyed this one.
It was great and even excellent leftover cold!!
I always love pizza made at home. Putting on your own topping is the best.
I totally agree! Personalize it!!
