Creamy Chicken Pizza Topping, A local pizza joint makes a creamy chicken pizza which is one of my favourites so I thought I’d try to recreate it They use mushrooms whereas I’ve used pineapple because I always like the extra sweetness and moisture that pineapple gives to a pizza I’ve assumed you are already armed with a pizza base and know how to use it, personally I used Recipe#256080 and cooked on an outdoor grill but then browned a little under a grill For a fresh dough it’s best to pre-cook a little because otherwise the liquid will seep in and make it soggy I used the quantities listed to top to a 35cm / 14 pizza, it tends to spread out a bit while cooking so make sure you cook in a well sized tray ”, Super scrummy pizza topping just needed a few chilli flakes to pep it up a little for our tastes
I used our favourite homemade pizza sauce, and went with the pineapple option ( which DH wasn’t impressed with at first, but thoroughly enjoyed!)
Cheers Peter great recipe I salute you!
