Just a quick, fun backstory on this. Darrell and I had originally planned to make our (also delicious) cajun chicken pasta last Friday night as kind of a special at-home date night since our schedules have been so crazy lately and we finally had a free night. Well, at work on Friday, it was like I was seeing/hearing about pizza EVERYWHERE. Kids were getting it for lunch, co-workers were planning to grab take-out for their family for dinner, and there was even a news article about some pizza chain or another online. And I just couldn't get pizza out of my head. So, I
Cajun Chicken Pizza
1 pizza crust (we used our crusty pizza dough recipe)
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced (approximately)
1-2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
8 oz Alfredo sauce (approximately--we used about half a jar)
1-2 cups Parmesan and/or mozzarella cheese
Cajun and other seasonings as desired
Coat the chicken breast pieces with a cajun seasoning and cook in a small amount of oil until juices run clear. Lightly saute the mushrooms in a little bit of butter, then add the slices of pepper for a few minutes. Mix the cajun spices and other seasonings into the Alfredo sauce (vary amount based on how cajun-y you want the sauce to be). Spread sauce over pizza crust, then top with cheese, chicken, and the vegetables. Bake for approximately 20 minutes in a 425* oven (at least I think that was the oven temp we used! I can never remember. Just pull it out when the crust is starting to brown). Slice and enjoy!
Of course, despite all of our excitement over how well the pizza turned out, Darrell did roll his eyes a little bit at the situation because he's now afraid I'm going to try to turn all of our recipes into pizzas. But I don't see anything wrong with that... Don't you think this Jack Daniel's glaze would make a delicious pizza sauce? Or what about this roasted pepper-tomatillo sauce? The possibilities are endless!
