CHICKEN ALFREDO PIZZA




INGREDIENTS

To Make Alfredo Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg


For Pizza Assembly
  • 1lb pizza dough
  • 1 large (or 2 small) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded (about 1 � cups)
  • � cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • � cup parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil, if desired


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Set a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 450�.
  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese; cook 1 minute until mixture is smooth, stirring constantly with a whisk. Gradually add milk and cook 3 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring until cheese melts and sauce reaches desired consistency, about 2 minutes.

  3. Stretch the pizza dough to a 12-inch round and transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or parchment paper.
  4. Spread alfredo sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a half inch border around the edge. Top with chicken, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan. Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is bubbling.
  5. Let pizza cool for 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped basil. Slice and serve.

Ingredients 4 large eggs 2 1/4 cups milk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil good pinch of salt US Customary - Metric Instructions Place all ingredients in order as listed in a blender and blitz until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and blend again briefly until batter is lump-free. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but 2 is ideal. Place nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat* to preheat.
