Homemade Chicken Alfredo Pizza

One of our most favorite activities to do as a couple is cook! Our kitchen is our favorite room in our townhouse, and when Jon and I cook together three things are involved: music, dancing, and newly invented recipes. 


This Darcy Recipe was created during our engagement season, and it has since become a staple in our home. It's the perfect dish for an in-house date night (usually accompanied with candles and a movie) or when entertaining friends (usually accompanied with games and laughs). 


Last night we invited my brothers Parker and Jordan, P's girlfriend Heather, and one of BFFs Nicole over for dinner. I had prep-bowls filled with pizza ingredients ready for the boys, and as we munched on an Italian baguette dipped in olive oil and spices, we put the boys to work.

Jordan had already made this homemade pizza with us before, but Park was a first-timer. It was so interesting to see how meticulous they were at adding the toppings!

In order to save money for my GORGEOUS engagement ring, my Love worked a second job at Dominoe's. Two great things came from his experiences there: 

1) An absolutely stunning ring!  :) 

2) A husband who is incredible at flipping pizza dough! (Should've taken a picture of this)

Here are the ingredients needed for this delish dish:


2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
1/2 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 onion, diced
1 bag Mozzarella cheese
1/2 jar Bertolli mushroom alfredo sauce
Publix five grain pizza dough
(If desired, 1/2 tomato, diced)

Steps:

1) About 1 - 1 1/2 hours before cooking, set the pizza dough out to become room temperature

2) Preheat oven to 450 degrees

3) Grill 2 chicken breasts (the George Foreman is a lovely invention)

4) Sprinkle flour on a clean kitchen countertop, and began kneeding the dough; flip it, stretch it, kneed     

    some more

5) Place pizza dough on your kitchen stone (or cookie sheet)

6) Using a spoon, spread the alfredo sauce evenly across the circular dough; leave about 1/2 inch 

     around the circumference of the pizza for yummy crust

7) Layer a thin layer of cheese

8) Add the chicken slices, spread out evenly over the pizza shape

9) Distribute bell pepper slices and onion dices (and tomatoes) evenly around the pizza; don't be timid-

     you can't mess this up!

10) Use remaining cheese to layer a thick cheesy top layer!

11) Cook pizza (uncovered) in oven for 12-15 minutes 

       (With a stone- 15 mins; Cookie sheet- 12 mins)

12) Slice into rectangular pieces, and enjoy! 

*Depending on how hungry you are, 1 pizza usually serves 4 people.

*Serves great alongside a Caesar salad  :)

We enjoyed a great evening last night, and were soooo stuffed after this delish dish! 

This pizza is a hit at La Casa Darcy. We hope your family enjoys it, too!
