Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped (red or green)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package (store-bought or homemade) pizza dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the cubed chicken in a skillet until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion, bell pepper, and spinach until softened. Add minced garlic and oregano; stir in the cooked chicken.
In a saucepan, melt butter to create a roux with flour; whisk in milk gradually to thicken into béchamel sauce, adding half of the mozzarella until melted.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Spread the chicken mixture over it, pour the béchamel sauce on top, and sprinkle remaining cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly.
