This Chicken and Artichoke Pizza Recipe with Mushrooms and Olives is a flavorful gourmet pizza.
This Chicken and Artichoke Pizza is one of those fun, homemade gourmet meals that tastes like it came from a fancy pizzeria but is super easy to throw together in your own kitchen. Juicy chicken chunks, tangy artichoke hearts, earthy mushrooms, and salty black olives sit on a layer of savory sauce, all finished with a bright drizzle of Italian dressing for that perfect zesty kick.
What makes this pizza even better? It’s totally customizable! Love extra veggies? Pile on more mushrooms or throw in some spinach or bell peppers. Want it spicier? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some jalapeños. Prefer a cheesier vibe? Go ahead and load it up with mozzarella or whatever cheese you have on hand. This recipe is your starting point. Use it as a guide, but make it exactly how you like it and turn it into your new favorite go-to pizza night creation.
I used my Homemade Pizza Dough recipe and my Quick and Easy Pizza Sauce recipe. My oldest son’s reaction to dairy has become a lot more extreme, so I sprinkled a little Daiya Dairy-free (and soy-free) Mozzarella on the top, but feel free to smother it if you can. To compensate for the minimal cheese, I tossed the meat and veggies in Italian dressing to add more flavor.
I save money by using frozen artichoke hearts on the pizza, but you can also use jarred artichoke hearts. If you use jarred artichoke hearts, drain them first.

Great recipe these are some of my favorite foods and would live to try it on pizza. I think I will use flour tortillas for my crust with a little less ingredients to make it easier to eat.

Ooooh…sounds scrumptious! Just bought some canned artichoke hearts. Next time will look for frozen ones, never have looked for them.

I haven’t tried artichoke in pizza sure it is going to be delicious. Thanks Alea for this wonderful recipe sharing and hosting with Hearth and soul blog hop.

Nice flavourful combo Alea. I’ll bet this was delicious. 🙂
Loved your “one taste at a time” comment. Kids’ tastes change from day to day. They won’t like everything but you’re quite right in thinking that, if encouraged to develop an adventurous palate, they’ll be open (and likely) to enjoy most foods.

This pizza sounds delicious. I like the idea of tossing the toppings in Italian dressing first to add flavour too.
You have some wonderful ideas for encouraging picky eaters to be less picky in this post. I’ve recently learned that our taste buds are replaced approximately every two weeks, so it’s definitely a great idea to keep re-introducing foods to children as you suggest doing.
