Ingredients

  • 1 batch of your favorite pizza dough about 1 pound
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach defrosted and squeezed dry
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Pat the prepared dough into a large circle on a pizza pan or baking sheet, allowing the edges to be a little thicker than the middle.
  2. To make the alfredo sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about a minute, and then gradually whisk in the cream and milk. Add the nutmeg and a little salt and pepper.
  3. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  4. Spread the sauce on the pizza dough, leaving about a one-inch border around the edges.
  5. Mix the spinach, chicken, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture out evenly over the sauce. Top with the mozzarella and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • When you are short on time but still want freshly baked pizza, try picking up fresh dough from the pizza station at a grocery store, like Whole Foods. At home, place the dough in a bowl greased with olive oil and cover with a kitchen towel. Set the bowl in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes, then proceed with the recipe. While you’re at the store, you can pick up a rotisserie chicken to use for the shredded chicken, too.
