Chicken and Broccoli Pizza

I found this recipe in the Weight Watcher's cookbook, Simply Decilicous.  This is not your typical pizza.  And, unfortunately, does require a trip to the grocery store. 

As always, I did make some changes to the recipes and I will note those below with astericks **

Chicken and Broccoli Pizza by Weight Watchers

Ingredients:  

(Ingredients I omitted)
1 T mayonnaise **
1 t milk **
1/2 cup cornflakes crumbled **

1/2 lb boneless chicken breasts - cut into strips ** (I used chicken tenders)
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 package thin pizza crust

1 10 oz package frozen chopped broccoli thawed and patted dry
3 or 4 T grated Parmesan Cheese
1 c mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450.

**If you want to bread the chicken, mix the mayonnaise and milk together, add the chicken to coat.  In a large ziplock bag, put the cornflake crumbs.  Add the chicken and shake to coat.  Place on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 10. **

I just fried my chicken strips in a skillet and cut them into bite size pieces.

Roll out pizza crust.  I put a piece of parchment paper on the baking sheet.

Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the crust and top with the chopped broccoli.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and top with the bite size pieces of chicken.  Lastly, add the mozzarella cheese.

Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Verdict:

Resident Expert #1 (aka my husband) loved it.  Resident Expert #2 (aka my son) when I told him what we were having for dinner said it sounded terrible!  My husband ate two pieces, one "plain" and one with Montgomery Inn BQ sauce.  Said it was good both ways.  So my son and his girlfriend decided to give it a try . . . they both came back for seconds - so I am guessing it wasn't THAT terrible!!  I think we have a winner here!  My opinion - I thought it was good - it is certainly easy enough to fix.  Yes, I will be making this again!
