Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Chicken Alfredo Pizza is a pizza version of the creamy pasta dish and it has so much flavor. For the first level of flavor, the pizza dough is coated with a garlic butter. Next comes a rich and creamy sauce flavored with Romano cheese (parmesan cheese could be used instead).

The toppings include diced chicken, baby spinach, green onion, bacon, and of coarse mozzarella cheese.

For the pizza dough, you can use a premade crust such as Boboli, buy pizza dough from the grocery store or favorite pizza restaurant, or make your own.

If you make your own, I love Craftsy’s Perfect Pizza at Home . It’s a totally free online class taught by Peter Reinhart, the author of American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza. You can watch it as many times as you like and the recipes and instructions are excellent. It will take your pizza making skills to new heights.

I make this pizza vegetarian for my daughter by leaving out the chicken and bacon and using some steamed broccoli instead. She loves it!

CHICKEN ALFREDO PIZZA RECIPE TIPS:

• The pizza dough will be much easier to stretch or roll out if it is at room temperature. Remove it from the refrigerator an hour or two in advance. Be sure to keep it covered well so that it does not dry out.
• A pizza stone is recommended to get a crispy crust. You want the pizza stone to preheat at least 15 minutes.
