Homemade Pizza Crust
The recipe calls for a pre-baked pizza crust, like Boboli. Another great alternative would be to use Rhode's frozen bread dough, or stop and get ready-made pizza dough at Papa Murphy's.
This pizza is savory good! You can top it with anything your heart desires; that's the beauty of pizza.
I've used pesto as a sauce too, as you can see in the picture; but, our preference is Alfredo sauce. YUM!
Isn't that crust beautiful?!

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

This recipe came from a Simple & Delicious magazine, and makes one 12 inch pizza.
1 envelope zesty herb marinade mix; I use McCormick's Grill Mates Zesty Herb Marinade. 1/3 cup water 3 T. cider vinegar 3 T. olive oil 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each) 1/2 cup, or more, prepared Alfredo sauce 3 T. grated Parmesan Cheese 3 tsp. Italian seasoning 1 tsp. garlic powder Little side note: I lightly sprinkle the zesty herb mix onto the Alfredo sauce & incorporate it into my sauce with a spatula. I do this instead of the Italian seasoning & garlic powder. I like the Alfredo sauce to have a little bit more zip. Do as you see fit :)
1 cup pizza cheese blend or mozzarella, shredded 1/2 medium green pepper, sliced thin 1/2 small red onion, sliced thin & separated into rings. 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced. We can't get fresh mushrooms here, so always use canned. If using fresh, you may want to saute them first in a little butter or olive oil to get some of the water out of the mushrooms.
Any other toppings you enjoy; we like black olives. Some options: Feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, thinly sliced tomatoes, or capers. Yummy.
1 pre-baked Italian pizza crust.
Making the marinade: 1. In a small bowl, combine 2 Tablespoons of the dry marinade mix, water, vinegar & oil. 2. Cut chicken into equal portions; I like them medium-sized for baking, so they don't dry out. Pour 1/3 cup of marinade into a large resealable bag; add chicken. Seal & rub marinade into chicken pieces. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Save remaining marinade for basting while cooking chicken.
Additional Instructions for Chicken Alfredo Pizza: 1. Chop vegetables & shred cheese while chicken is marinating. 2. After 1 hour, remove chicken & discard marinade. Broil chicken 4 inches from heating element for 5 - 7 minutes on each side, or until done; basting with remaining marinade. Cool slightly. Cut into small cubes or pieces. 3. Spread Alfredo sauce on pizza crust; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning & garlic powder. 4. Top with chicken, green pepper, onion, mushrooms, & cheese. 5. Transfer to lightly greased pizza pan or stone. 6. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes in a 450 degree oven.
Enjoy this delicious pizza!
