Broccoli Chicken Pizza

"This was inspired by a broccoli cheese stuffed potato recipe I found, but it seemed to be a little labor intensive, so I decided it would work better as pizza. This is an original "sbera007" creation! We were serving 6 so we let our dough rise so it would spread into a jelly roll pan. If using a store bought dough, I would double the dough. Feel free to half the topping for 4 people and use a single store bought dough. Halving the recipe will alter the cooking time a little bit. (NOTE: I included the time for the dough to rise in the recipe time. This will be different if you use a different pizza crust)."

  1. Awesome! I keep snacking on this as I make the second pizza! So quick and easy! I cooked the chicken in the crock pot with the spices and shredded it yesterday (I like to crock pot a lot of chicken and separate it for multiple recipies); used one bag of Green Giant Steamers because they seem to be all flowers and chopped perfect for this recipe (prepared as directed on the bag); also used two tubes of Pillsbury thin pizza crust (cooked one pizza at a time). My only addition was a tsp of minced garlic to the topping. I split the topping between the two crusts and it worked perfect. I gave my kids (4 and 7) a bite after the first pizza popped out of the oven and they are already begging for more! Definitely a winner.

<p>I am a high school teacher in Omaha, Nebraska. My love for cooking started at a young age when I used to bake goodies for my father and his coworkers. When I got out on my own, I starting cooking for friends (especially my single male friends who were living on frozen pizza). <br /><br />For years now, my friends and family wait all year for my Christmas bake-a-thon. I spend two days every year making a plethora of cookies, bars, and snack mixes to give as gifts. <br /><br />I love to cook because food is the one thing that brings all people together (everyone has to eat sometime!) My husband to be teases me because sometimes he does not even get through his first bite before I am asking him if he likes it.</p>
