Chicken Carbonara Pizza
Serves | 2-4 |
Ingredients
- 1 portion of Basic Pizza Dough (see below)
- 200g Chicken Breast
- 8 Slices Streaky Bacon
- 30g Unsalted Butter
- 1 Medium Onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
- 30g Plain Flour
- 100ml Double Cream
- 240ml Milk
- 50g Grated Parmesan
- Ground Black Pepper
- 250g Mature Cheddar (grated)
Directions
1. | Make one batch of Basic Pizza Dough (makes two 10 inch bases) |
2. | Add the chicken and bacon to a saute pan, and fry until cooked, and the bacon is starting to crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon grease, and place on some kitchen paper to cool and drain |
3. | Melt the butter in a saute pan and add the sliced onion. Cook over a low heat until the onion is soft then add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes |
4. | Sprinkle in the flour and cook for another couple of minutes |
5. | Add in the cream and milk a bit at a time,stirring gently to remove any lumps of flour between each addition. Cook until desired thickness is achieved. You want a fairly thick sauce |
6. | Take it off the heat and stir in the parmesan, then season with a little ground black pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and put to one side. |
7. | Pre-heat the oven to 220°C / 425°F / Gas Mark 7 |
8. | On a well floured surface, press the pizza base dough out into two 10" circles |
9. | Top each with half of the carbonara sauce, then half of the grated cheddar |
10. | Sprinkle the bacon and chicken evenly, then sprinkle the remaining cheese |
11. | Place the pizzas as near the top of the oven as possible. Then turn down to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6 |
12. | Bake for 10 minutes, then swap the pizzas around. Bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until the cheese and sauce is browned and bubbling |
13. | Spread the chicken evenly over the pizzas then sprinkle the final third of cheese. Top with some mixed herbs |
14. | Place back in the oven for a further 10-15 minutes depending how well done you like it, then serve |
