Chicken Alfredo Pizza



It's a holiday weekend, and I made pizza. Absolutely delicious.

Crust:
1 pkg active dry yeast
1 C warm water
1 T canola oil
2 t sugar
1/2 t garlic-herb seasoning
1/2 c wheat flour
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 c. bread flour
1 T cornmeal

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil, sugar, seasoning, wheat flour, and 2 1/4 c. bread flour. Mix, turn out and knead until smooth. Put in bowl coated in cooking spray, cover and let rise for about 20 minutes.

Punch dough down, and roll out to 15 inches. Sprinkle cornmeal on pizza pan, and spread dough, building up edges. Bake at 425 for 12 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.

Topping:
4 t flour
1 1/4 c milk
1 1/2 c cubed cooked chicken breast
1/3 c shredded Parmesan
1-2 c fresh spinach, cooked until just wilted
2 oz mushrooms
2 oz olives
1.5 oz onions
1.5 oz red pepper
2 oz shredded low-fat mozzarella

Combine flour and milk in saucepan, bring to a boil, stirring until thickened (about 2 min). Add chicken, Parmesan and spinach, stir until cheese is melted.


Spread mixture over baked crust and add other toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. 8 servings. 1 slice = 277 calories, 15 g protein, 41 g carbs, 7 g fat.

I obviously had some issues with the crust: it doesn't look very pretty, but it tasted wonderful. My pizza pan is also only 12 inches, so it's thicker than called for. Will definitely make again!
