Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Broccoli

This Chicken Alfredo Pizza recipe is my favorite way to use up leftover Alfredo Sauce, but I have no problem whipping up a batch of Alfredo sauce just to make this pizza.

I used my Slightly Healthier Gluten Free Garlic and Herb Pizza Dough recipe to make the crust for this pizza. Use your favorite pizza dough recipe, but add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and 1 teaspoon basil when mixing the dry ingredients to create an especially flavorful pizza.

Alfredo Sauce Recipe

This is the same Alfredo Sauce Recipe that I used in Pasta Alfredo with Asparagus, but I included it here to make it more convenient should you choose to try this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or 2 T. flour)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (or 3/4 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• dash of pepper

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a medium sauce pot. Once the butter is melted add cornstarch. Stir until smooth. Cook over a medium-high flame until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, stirring constantly.
2. Add milk slowly, stirring until well blended. Add broth, cheese, garlic powder, parsley and pepper. Stir over a medium flame, until cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Thoughts on Making Pizza

For a long time, I was afraid of making my own pizza dough. I didn’t think I could make it look pretty – and I can’t. I have still never made a perfectly round pizza, the closest I have come is a fat oval (my daughter said it would be more politically correct to say a wide oval). But you know what? Ugly homemade pizza tastes way better than a perfectly formed packaged or delivery pizza. It is also healthier and a lot less expensive. As with most homemade food, you get twice the flavor, for half the price.
