Fake Chicken Alfredo Pizza

I believe I've explained the addiction to pizza that boyfriend suffers with, and I have become one of those innocent loved ones affected by by his "disease." He IS getting better, eating pizza less often, besides the fact that we ate at Piece on Thursday, then got a frozen pizza after the bar on Friday, and made this pizza on Monday, but I digress. So when thinking of what to make for dinner on Monday, he, of course, suggested an alfredo chicken pizza, I suggest adding broccoli, and we went from there.

We rolled out the garlic pizza dough from Trader Joes on a greased cooking sheet and put it in the 400 degree pre-heated oven for about 7 minutes. While that was in the oven, we fried up the broccoli and fake chicken with about 3 cloves of garlic, minced, and just a little bit of olive oil in a frying pan until the chicken was slightly crispy. Then we realized we had some fake bacon in the freezer, so we fried that up with some vegetable oil and cut it up in to small bits. I then grated the cheese, but blast me, I can't remember the name of it. I was a harder mozzerella from Trader Joes and it was perfect on this pizza.

After we let the crust bake for a little in the oven, we took it out and added the alfredo sauce. In order to keep the pizza from being too heavy in our bellies, I went with Ragu's Cheesy Light Parmesan Alfredo sauce, and it only took half of the jar to cover the pizza. I then placed 4 slices of provolone cheese around the pizza, spread out the chicken, broccoli and facon, and sprinkled Italian seasoning over everything. We topped it off with the shredded moz, and 4 more cloves of minced garlic.

It was in the oven for about 25 minutes when the crust nicely browned and the cheese looked like this


BOY was it delicious. And Surprisingly, after 4 pieces, I wasn't stuffed! So, in summary, here's a list of the ingredients:

1/2 package fake chicken
4 strips fake bacon
1-2 cups chopped broccoli (we used the frozen variety)
3 cloves, then 4 cloves garlic, minced
4 slices provolone cheese
1/2 jar light alfredo sauce
2 cups shredded mozzerella
1 pizza crust
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning

This only took about 45 minutes total to make, the ingredients weren't more than $15 and the pie was a real mouth-pleaser. I highly suggest making it!
