Asian BBQ Chicken Pizza

Pizza dough
Asian BBQ Chicken
Mozzarella cheese
Red onion
Fresh cilantro
Alfredo sauce

1. Make a batch of Alfredo Sauce and combine with reserved Asian bbq chicken marinade. The ratios depend on how saucy you like your pizza and how much you're making. I use about 1/3 C sauce with 1/2 T marinade for a small/medium sized pizza. This dough recipe makes 2 small/med pizzas. (You can just make a half batch of Alfredo sauce, or do a full batch and use the rest of it on pasta the next night!)

2. Whip up a batch of pizza dough (we like to use our recipe for focaccia bread). Follow directions for baking or grilling.

3. When it's time to add toppings, spread sauce on pizza and then a layer of cheese. Top with chicken (I used 2-3 breasts for one small/med pizza) and sliced red onions, and then sprinkle a little more cheese on top.

4. When it's done cooking and cheese is melted, remove from heat and sprinkle on chopped cilantro. Eat immediately!

Alfredo Sauce

This sauce is so easy and delicious. I think it tastes similar to Olive Garden's Alfredo Sauce. Thanks Our Best Bites for another Delicious Recipe


2 C low-fat milk (not skim)
1/3 C (3 oz) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
2 T flour
1 t salt
1 T butter
3 garlic cloves
1 C grated Parmesan cheese

Toss the milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender. Process until smooth and set aside. In a non-stick sauce pan, melt butter on med-high heat and add garlic. Let the garlic saute for about 30 seconds, you don't want to burn it.

Then add milk mixture to the pan. Stir constantly for about 3 minutes or until it just barely comes to a simmer. Keep stirring and let it cook for about 2 minutes more. It should be much thicker now. You can do a spoon test to check. When you run your finger over the back of a spoon it should hold the line firmly.

Garlic bread seasoning

• 1/2 c. powdered Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp. Kosher salt
• 2 Tbsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. oregano
• 2 tsp. basil
• 2 tsp. marjoram
• 2 tsp. parsley

1. Combine ingredients in a jar (preferably one with a sprinkle top) and shake.

30 min. Breadsticks/ No Fail Deep Dish Pizza Crust

My family loved this deep dish Pizza recipe - it was so good!!

• 2 1/2 C. Medium Hot Water
• 5 tsp. SAF Instant Yeast*
• 2 Tbsp. Sugar
• 3 Tbsp. Oil
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 6 C. Flour (you can do half all-purpose and half white wheat or 100% whole wheat)
• 1/2 Cube of Butter (the more butter you use the crisper the crust, you can use up to 2 cubes of butter. Personally, I don't want to see it on the hips so I stick with 1/2 cube.)

1. Pour medium hot water in mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and allow to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, and oil. Gradually add approximately 6 cups of flour.

2. Melt butter on cookie sheet in oven as it is heating to 400 degrees and melt in oven. Place dough on cookie sheet and press to fill pan, make sure butter gets on top of the dough. Allow to double in size (About 10-15 minutes)

3. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until desired browning is accomplished. Cut into strips or top with favorite pizza toppings.

4. If doing pizza, top with toppings and put back in oven for 10-12min. till cheese is melted.
