Greek Pizza

This Greek Pizza is amazing! Not only that, but itís also a simple dish to prepare. When I think of Greek food I often think of fresh veggies. You can add the veggies prior to baking if you prefer, but why not try out the unbaked veggie version? I did saute the peppers, just to reduce the crunch factor but really you could just toss those on fresh too.

Ingredients:
1 homemade or store bought
2 1/2 extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 dried oregano
1/4 dried basil
1/8 dried thyme
1 freshly ground black pepper
6 fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped
4 feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any variety)
1 cup diced grape , halved
1/3 cup chopped kalamata or black olives
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups cubed, cooked chicken breasts (optional)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place pizza stone in oven and rest 30 minutes. Meanwhile combine 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Spread and shape pizza crust into a 12 - 13 inch round over a sheet of lightly floured parchment paper, while creating a rim along edge of dough. Brush pizza dough evenly with olive oil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with oregano, basil, thyme (leaving rim uncovered with herbs). Add chicken, if desired. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Top evenly with mozzarella and feta cheese. Bake in preheated oven 12 - 15 minutes until crust is golden. Meanwhile, saute peppers in a skillet in 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium high heat until tender (you could also just add them on without sauteing).

Remove pizza from oven and immediately top with peppers, tomatoes, olives, onion and parsley. Cut into slices and serve.
