We had this on Friday before Cinderella. As I was making it, I thought, the kids are not going to eat this. So I kept some of the chicken off the pizza and just gave it to them plain. So it was marinated but didn't have the vegetables or spices on it. Even still, Nathan would not eat it. Such a picky kid. Anyway this is from Simple & Delicious July/Aug 2008.
Chicken Alfredo Pizza
1 envelope zesty herb marinade mix (near the dry gravy & chili mixes)
1/3 cup water
3 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz each)
1 prebaked Italian bread shell crust (they mean Boboli)
1/2 cup prepared Alfredo sauce
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
3 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup (4 oz) finely shredded pizza cheese blend
1/2 medium green pepper, julienned (don't really know how to do that, I just sliced it thin)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings (how do they make these onions red? Is it the same as red cabbage? It stained my fingernails a little bit)
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (left these out because mushrooms are slimy and gross)
In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp marinade mix, water, vinegar, and oil. (Save remaining marinade mix for another use, they say, but there really wasn't much left so I didn't bother). Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a large ziploc bag; add the chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade. Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Broil 4 inches from heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until chicken juices run clear, basting occasionally w/ reserved marinade. Cool. Cube chicken and set aside (I didn't really let mine cool before I cubed it, I was working with a deadline here). Place bread shell crust on ungreased 12 inch pizza pan. Spread with alfredo sauce. Sprinkle w/ parmesan cheese, italian seasoning, garlic powder, 1/2 of the cheese, green pepper, onion, mushrooms (if you like to eat fungus, I personally do not), cubed chicken and remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, @ 450 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. 6 slices.
So this is definitely an adult pizza. Not like XXX adult, but I mean the type only adults will like. It smelled so delicious, like a pizzeria, while it was cooking. It tasted pretty good too, although the alfredo sauce added something weird. Steve said, what's the white stuff, sour cream? And I said no silly alfredo sauce. He likes alfredo, which is the whole reason I chose this recipe to begin with. But neither of us was crazy about that part of it. On the whole though it was a yummy meal and we all got our princesses to Brewer Middle School on time for Cinderella.
