Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Well, as promised we have the recipe for Chicken Alfredo Pizza using the Ragu Alfredo on sale this week.  (case lot sale at Smith's)  I must say.......... it is really GOOD and I don't even like Pizza! (past tense)   It is very budget friendly as there is only 1 chicken breast per pizza.   Recipe adapted from Cheri/lighthousekeeper .
Try it.............bet the kids will love it!  It was much better than the Chicken Alfredo Pizza from the pizza place.............

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Sauce:
Jar Ragu Alfredo
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Onion, chopped
1/2 C chicken broth
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp Heavy cream
opt:  1 Tbsp Bruschetta spread, Tapenade, or any flavoring you may have stashed in the fridge

Garlic Butter:
2 Tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, chopped
pinch dried rosemary
pinch of salt

Dough:
1 c warm water
1 pkg instant yeast
2 Tbsp veg oil
1 Tbsp white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp garlic powder
3 C A/P flour

2 boneless chicken breast halves, roasted  & chopped (we used 1 breast)
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt

Approx 1 C Mozzarella Cheese
sliced olives
opt:  any leftover veg such as spinach

Make sauce:  add oil, onion, garlic and saute.  Add Ragu Alfredo and chicken broth. Simmer until reduced to a sauce consistency.  Add cream.  let cool.

Garlic Butter:  melt butter and combine with spices for garlic butter....stir until garlic is tender.  Set aside and let cool.

To make pizza dough:  Pour the warm water into a small bowl and stir in the yeast and sugar  until dissolved.  Allow the yeast to sit until it foams (about 5 min)  Mix the veg oil, salt, rosemary and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.  Stir in the yeast mixture and then add the flour gradually.  Gather into a loose ball and knead until a smooth ball forms.  Cover and let set for about 1/2 hour or until double in size.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Season the roasted chicken with the rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and salt.  Chop/shred and set aside.

To assemble pizza:  spread dough out on prepared pizza stone (sprinkled with Semolina Flour).  Top with cooled garlic butter, covering entire crust.  Spread with Alfredo sauce, leaving crust edges.  (save leftover Alfredo sauce for dipping when pizza is done).  Top with chicken, Mozzarella cheese and sliced olives.  Bake in preheated oven for 20 min or until bottom crust is lightly browned.  Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 min before cutting. 

Note:  the semolina flour really helps the crust!
