Spinach and Chicken Alfredo Pizza

So, this definitely isn't the healthiest meal I've ever come accross, but I made quite a few modifications to help it out a little. So, here you go:

Spinach and Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Ingredients:

Dough

1 cup warm water

• 1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast (or 2 1/2 tsp)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 cups whole wheat flour (or all purpose) *you may need a little more 

Chicken

1 whole chicken breast

dried rosemary

dried thyme

old bay seasoning 

olive oil

garlic powder

salt 

pepper

Garlic Butter

2 cloves garlic 

2 tbsp butter

a pinch of dried crushed rosemary

pinch of salt

Sauce

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 1 cup skim milk
• 3/4 cup grated Romano cheese

Toppings

1 package frozen spinach (microwaved 4 minutes and drained)

or steamed broccoli florets

crushed red pepper flakes (to put on after it's cooked- Kevin likes a little spice) 

skim milk mozzarella 

Directions

Dough

put the 2 1/2 tsp yeast into the 1 cup warm water, stir until dissolved and let sit 5 minutes. Meanwhile Stir together the 2 tbsp veg. oil, 1 tbsp white sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp rosemary, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.  Mix in the yeast, then slowly at the flour. (you want it to form a ball) I used my kitchen aid dough attachment to knead it for a few minutes, but you could knead it by hand. Let it sit for 30 minutes. 

Chicken

preheat the oven to 400. Sprinkle chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, old bay (i know it sounds weird, but it adds a nice spice) salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the juices run clear. chop or shred after it is cool enough to handle. 

Garlic Butter

melt the butter over med. low heat. add 2 cloves of minced garlic, crushed rosemary, and salt. cook until the garlic is soft, but not brown. if the butter starts to bubble, lower the heat, or turn the heat off and just let it sit on the burner to soften the garlic. set aside.

Sauce

melt the butter over medium heat. add the 4 tbsp of flour and the salt and pepper mix well.  add the 1 cup milk and 3/4 cup ramano cheese. stir constantly until thick. set aside

To Assemble

Roll out the dough and put on a 9x13 cookie sheet with a lip. spread garlic butter all the way to the edges. toss the chicken with the sauce and spread over garlic butter. then put on the spinach or broccoli. sprinkle mozzarella on top. bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. 

All the work is worth it, because this is what it turns out like:
