Italian Chicken Panini Pizza

From This Week for Dinner

*This was a great idea for pizza--dressing for the sauce.  I really liked it--Jeff liked it better than the pepperoni I made for the kids, but after the first piece, I caught him pulling off the spinach (daddies and their veggies!).


Ingredients:
Uncle Tony's Pizza Crust or anther pizza crust that you like
Light Italian Dressing (I used Ken's)
1-2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced (marinated in Italian dressing before grilling and seasoned with salt & pepper)
1-2 tomatoes, sliced (I actually used a handful of cherry tomatoes sliced)
couple handfuls of fresh spinach
mozzarella cheese (or a combination of monterey jack cheese & Parmesan)

Directions:
1.  Prepare crust.  Spread 2-3 T of Italian dressing on crust.  Top with spinach, chicken, tomatoes, and cheese.

2.  Bake in the oven on a pizza stone with your oven at 500 degrees, about 8-10 minutes or until crust browns and cheese is bubbly.
