The blue cheese in place of the expected mozzarella gives this pizza a surprising and sophisticated taste. It's excellent as an entree or appetizer—it can be prepared in a round pizza pan as well. —Beverly Lynch, Sugar Grove, Illinois

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2-1/2 cups sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cups coarsely chopped cooked chicken breast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°. In a large skillet, heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until tender, 4-6 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add spinach; cook and stir over medium-high heat until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
2. Stir in chicken, salt and pepper. Unroll and press dough onto bottom of a greased 15x10x1-in. pan. Spoon chicken mixture over dough. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 14-16 minutes.
3. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon; drizzle with remaining oil. Bake until heated through, 3-5 minutes.
