Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Chicken Alfredo Pizza
This is my take on Kraft's version...


Ingredients:

  • Pizza crust (I chose thin-crust wheat)
  • Alfredo sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese (I chose the one made with 2% milk)
  • 1-10 oz box frozen spinach, thawed
  • garlic
  • onion
  • 1 chicken breast
I didn't take pics while this was being made, but it was super easy! This recipe is also cheap to make: It was less than $10 and could easily feed 4. I had it for lunch and snack the next day. I used garlic and onion I had on-hand. The extra sauce and cheese can be used to make pasta for another meal. When you make take-out stuff at home, you can control how much of each ingredient (and which ingredients) you use.

1. Prep your ingredients: chop the garlic and onion, cube the raw chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, squeeze the excess water out of the spinach. If there is a bunch of water left, it will make the pizza soggy. 
2. Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil until slightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside. If you don't like the taste of raw onion on pizza, you'll may like it this way. Sauteing these ingredients makes the yummy flavor come out. 
3. Using the same olive oil you used to cook the garlic and onion, saute the chicken until cooked through. You can season with whatever you have on-hand: S&P, creole seasoning, red pepper flakes, whatevs. 
4. Top the pizza: sauce, cheese, spinach, cooked garlic and onion, chicken.
5. Bake according to crust directions. Yummy!
