Description

Crisp, bright, and weeknight-ready, this low FODMAP chicken pesto pizza swaps whole garlic for infused oil, uses lactose-free cheese, and bakes hot for a pizzeria-style snap.


Ingredients

Scale

12-inch low FODMAP or gluten-free pizza dough 3–4 tbsp low FODMAP basil pesto (garlic-infused oil, basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, lemon) 12 tsp garlic-infused olive oil (for brushing) 1–1¼ cups lactose-free mozzarella, shredded ¾–1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced small 1 small handful baby spinach 6–8 grape tomatoes, halved ½ tsp kosher salt ¼ tsp black pepper 1 lemon, for zest Fresh basil, for finishing


Instructions

Preheat oven to 500°F with a baking steel/stone for 30 minutes.If you lack a steel/stone, preheat an inverted sheet pan. Lay parchment on the counter; lightly flour it.

Roll the dough into a 12-inch round on the parchment.

Brush the dough with garlic-infused olive oil.

Spread 3–4 tbsp low FODMAP pesto in a thin, even layer.

Sprinkle on half the lactose-free mozzarella.

Scatter ¾–1 cup diced cooked chicken evenly.

Add baby spinach and halved grape tomatoes.

Top with remaining mozzarella; season with salt and pepper.

Slide parchment and dough onto the hot surface. Bake 8–11 minutes, until blistered and bubbling.

Rest pizza 2 minutes; zest lemon over the top. Finish with fresh basil; slice and serve.

Notes

Keep pesto to 3–4 tbsp per 12-inch pie for balance.

Reheat slices in a dry skillet or 375°F oven for crispness.

Freeze par-baked crusts and pesto in small portions for fast nights.

Swap chicken for turkey or shrimp; use lactose-free feta for variety
