ingredients
- 250 g chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated and divided
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (reserve juice if using tin)
- 1⁄2 cup pineapple, coarsely diced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried sage
- 150 g tomato paste
directions
- Cook chicken breast in oven for 30 minutes at 180°C / 350°F or grill until cooked through. You can of course use leftover chicken.
- Melt butter over gentle heat in a small saucepan and stir in flour until mixed well.
- Stir in milk gradually and continue to stir until it has reduced just a little, not much just a minute or two.
- Reduce temperature to low and stir through cheese until it has just melted and remove from the heat.
- Stir through the pineapple juice and stir rapidly to get it back to a thinner consistency.
- Coarsely cut the chicken into cubes roughly 1cm (little under 1/2") across and add to the cheese sauce and mix through.
- Stir through pineapple, onion, garlic, parsley, chives and sage. Place in the refrigerator 30 minutes while you prepare the oven/grill or alternatively it can be done in advance.
- Spread the base with the tomato paste or your favourite pizza sauce and then evenly spread the chicken mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top and cook as per your preferences until the cheese is melted through etc.

Your going to think I am crazy rating your recipe, when in the end it was not much like your pizza. I did start to make your pizza - lesson learned check your supplies before you start to cook. So here goes ---- I changed the tomato sauce to prepared Alfredo Sauce, did not make the cream sauce as I thought the Alfredo Sauce would do the trick for creaminess. Used cubed chicken breast, onion, slightly precooked chopped bacon, sliced mushrooms and shredded mozzarella cheese for topping. So I guess what I'm saying is for those who find themselves in my delema there are opts for any recipe. Thanx for my good start.

Super scrummy pizza topping.....just needed a few chilli flakes to pep it up a little for our tastes.<br/>I used our favourite homemade pizza sauce, and went with the pineapple option ( which DH wasn't impressed with at first, but thoroughly enjoyed!).<br/>Cheers Peter....great recipe.....I salute you!<br/>Made for AUS/NZ SWAP#84

<p>I live close Hobart in Tasmania, a wonderful part of Australia but a little chilly in winter so be sure to book your holiday for summer! I'm self-employed in the embedded electronics area and being at home most of the day gives me plenty of time to prepare those recipes with long preparation and cooking times. As most of my clients are either interstate or overseas I get to occasionally catch up with them and enjoy their local restaurants, always nice to have someone else paying the bills! <br /> <br />As well as food I'm partial to the odd beer & wine, so often like to go to a local pub and catch some local bands. No need for an alarm clock in the morning, my cat Molly likes her breakfast at 8:00AM sharp and makes an effective alarm! Lately I've been starting to get into some digital photography so you might be seeing a few additional recipe shots on Zaar... <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/stats.php?id=vUa1ya8Z> <br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/VisitorMap/globes/Globe_vUa1ya8Z.gif alt= /></a></p>
