Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Mushrooms and Bleu Cheese

I love to make pizza at home. It is so fun and versatile and delicious!  My youngest Hungry Puppy is on a bit of a red sauce strike, so I decided to do an alfredo pizza this time.  I haven't made one of these in several years, so it was definitely about time!  I made a simple alfredo sauce to spread over the crust, then topped it with chicken, bacon, fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, and three types of cheese.  The secret ingredient?  Bleu cheese!  It gave the pizza an incredible burst of flavor that fit perfectly, yet was unexpected.  By far the new favorite pizza in my family.




Chicken Alfredo Pizza with Mushrooms and Bleu Cheese


Pizza dough for 1 pizza (I used about 12 ounces, but use more if you like a thicker crust)


2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/3 cup parmesan cheese


8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
8 ounces fresh mushrooms
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup colby jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup bleu cheese
2 roma tomatoes, diced


Preheat the oven to 375F.  Roll out the pizza dough and place on a lightly greased pizza pan.  Set aside.


In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the flour.  Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.  Add the bouillon granules and continue to cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick and bubbly.  Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.  Set aside.


Sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning over the chicken and brown the chicken in a pan on the stovetop.  Place the cooked chicken in a bowl.  Cook the mushrooms in the same pan until they are cooked slightly and still firm.


Spread the alfredo sauce over the rolled out pizza dough.  Place the chicken, mushrooms, and bacon evenly over the pizza.  Sprinkle with the mozzarella, colby jack, and bleu cheeses.  Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is very lightly browned.  Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the tomatoes over the top.  Place the pizza back in the oven for about 5 minutes.  Remove pizza from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing.
