Recipe Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make this delicious Chicken Spinach Artichoke Dip Pizza.
Flatbread: You can make this pizza with store-bought flatbread or make your own flatbread. If you have a sourdough starter you can also use my recipe for sourdough flatbread.
Using flatbread for your pizza crust gives you a texture similar to a thin pizza crust.
Cream Cheese: If using block cream cheese allow it to soften and come to room temperature to make spreading easier. If like me you forget to get the cream cheese out of the refrigerator to soften, microwave it for about 30 seconds at 50% power. It should then be very soft and spreadable.
Chicken Breast: The chicken can be grilled, baked, or poached.
Spinach: I recommend using fresh baby spinach for the best flavor. If you only have frozen make sure to squeeze out all of the moisture before using.
Artichokes: Artichoke hearts can be found in a can, jar, or frozen. If using frozen artichokes you will want to thaw and drain them first.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Sun-dried tomatoes typically come in one of two ways, dried in a bag or dried and soaking in olive oil these are usually found with pickles and condiments.
I prefer the oil-soaked sun-dried tomatoes. It's like buying two products in one delicious sun-dried tomatoes and amazing tomato-flavored olive oil.
Tip: Save the olive oil for making salad dressing or roasting vegetables.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Substitutions and Variations
Flatbread: If you don't have any flatbread you can also use naan bread or prebaked pizza crust.
Cream Cheese: You could also use a cream cheese spread. I think the chive and onion, garlic herb, or garden vegetable flavors would work really well.
Chicken: Make these pizzas super simple by using use store-bought rotisserie chicken.
For a vegetarian version, substitute roasted cauliflower florets for the chicken.
Use up whatever ingredients you have in your refrigerator. Try adding:
- Red Peppers either fresh or roasted
- Pepperoncinis
- Kalamata Olives
- Fresh Tomatoes
- Zucchini
- Green Onions
- Bacon Crumbles
- Fresh Mozzarella
Tip: Be careful to not add too many or the flatbread won't be able to support the weight.
Step by Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450°F (180°C).
Step 2: Place the flatbread onto a metal baking sheet and spread with the cream cheese leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 3: Top with chicken, spinach, artichokes, red onion, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Step 4: Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this Chicken Spinach Artichoke Pizzas with a crisp green salad, like this Kale and Apple Salad for an amazing dinner.
You can also serve a variety of other appetizers with this pizza like these Traeger Smoked Chicken Wings, Smoked Cream Cheese, Smoked Potato Skins, or these Chicken and Zucchini Fritters.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
To Reheat: There are a couple of ways to reheat flatbread pizza.
- Microwave: You can reheat it in the microwave at 30-second intervals but the flatbread will not be as crunchy.
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 250°F (130°C) and bake the flatbread pizza on a sheet pan for 5-10 minutes. This is my favorite method.
Recipe FAQs

Expert Tips
- Don’t add too many toppings. Because flatbread is thinner than regular pizza crust it’s not going to hold up to mountains of toppings and cheese.
- For a vegetarian version of this chicken flatbread pizza, substitute roasted cauliflower florets for the chicken.
- Use a pizza stone or pizza steel. They will give you an amazingly crispy crust. You can even use it on your outside grill if you’d rather not heat up the kitchen. If you don't have a pizza stone you can also use this pizza pan which is perforated to help crisp the crust.
- For easier cutting, allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes before cutting.
