White Chicken Pizza… mmmmmm
A post from this past summer, but could just as easily be a winner in the winter.
We tried out something new at our house the other day. White Chicken Pizza from the recipe found here on http://www.mommiecooks.com/. It was really AWESOME! We actually did make some modifications as we only had enough chicken for one and usually we make two pizzas so for the second we used italian sausage. For the chicken we had three grilled chicken tenderloins leftover from the night before. Loved this since it tasted great and cut down on time and used the leftovers for something new. I also cheated since I had to run to the store and to the daycare before getting home to make this so we used premade pizza crusts. Next time I intend to try her recipe for crusts. Both pizzas were great and I love that we did not have all the sometimes overwhelming pizza sauce to cover all the flavors. We had my mother-in-law over for dinner that evening and just made it a patio dinner.
Ingredients needed:
2 Small Chicken Breasts, Chopped Small or 1/2 package of italian sausage
2 Shallots, Chopped
5 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Large Bunch of Basil, Chopped
1 Large Handful (~ 1 Cup) of Fresh Spinach, Chopped
A Few Good Shakes of Salt and Pepper
6-8 Oz. of the Pizza Cheese of your Choice (I used a fontina, parmesan, asiago, provolone mix)
1 ball of homemade pizza dough (or a pkg. of store bought dough or pre-cooked crust)
Throw your chicken, shallots, garlic and the salt/pepper in a skillet and cook them up on medium heat.
Once they’re cooked through, remove them from the heat. Roll out your dough and brush the olive oil across the top of your crust.
After putting on the oil, grab your chicken mixture and spread it evenly across the top of the pizza. Pop the basil on top of that.
Next up, the spinach. (Even frozen works great)
Finally you’ll sprinkle your cheese across the top. Add as much or as little suits your fancy. That’s part of the beauty of a pizza; it’s totally the way you like it. Me? I like A LOT of cheese.
Pop your finished pie into the oven set at 475 for about 9 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges.
Pull it out and give it a minute or two to set up (if you can wait that long). Serve it up with a little parmesan, oregano, and red pepper for sprinkling.
We enjoyed these pizzas with a fresh ceasar salad. Our family loves the Briannas Asiago Caesar dressing, its the best store bought ceasar dressing we have found. You can find this at your local supermarket (see here for stores outside of Texas) and its a GO TEXAN product which I think is awesome.
