Hello Everyone! My name is Nikole Chappell, I chose to make my uncle's recipe for Chicken Alfredo Pizza. I chose this recipe not only because it is delicious but also because it is a very basic recipe that can be edited depending on what you personally like on your pizza!
Taste: As I mentioned this recipe is wonderful when it comes to taste, especially because if there is something that you don't want on it, you don't have to use it!
Cost: The entire set of grocery's for this recipe cost about 25$ so it is a good recipe to make for you and your friends!
Preparation: Prep takes a little longer than some other recipes might, but that is only if you make dough from scratch (because you have to let the dough rise for 1-2 hours). In total prep takes about 10-15 minutes.

RELATIONS TO THE 5 FOOD GROUPS:
Grains: This recipe provides a significant source of grains considering that it includes a homemade dough created from flour. It is important to make sure you get enough grains in your diet because they provide quite a bit of structure for your cells as well as the fact that they get rid of Omega 3-fatty acids.
Proteins: Protein comes into play with the chicken that is put on the pizza, as well as the combination of cheeses. Protein plays a crucial role in the human diet because are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.
Fruits: There is a significant lack of fruit with this recipe, aside from the tomatoes, you could always cut up a cantaloupe or some other fruit to pair as a side. Fruits are needed in the diet because they carry fiber which can help protect against heart disease and lower cholesterol.
Vegetables: Vegetables are covered considering the avocados that are used. Vegetables are typically rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, fiber and potassium all things that are needed for human development as well as day to day activities.
Dairy: The Alfredo sauce and cheese provide most of the dairy needed from this recipe. Milk and dairy products are important for the diet because they have the ability to provide a quick and easy way to supply critical nutrients, while remaining low in calories.
THE RECIPE:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Cook time: Cook until golden brown & crispy on the edges 10-15 min.
Dough:
3 cups flour
2 TBS olive oil
Water as needed
Yeast prepared according to container
Preparation:
Mix flour and olive oil together, while the yeast sets, then add the yeast, and slowly mix in water until it forms a dough like substance. Allow the dough to rise.
Toppings:
(2) Tomatoes-Diced
(2) Avocados-Sliced
Onion-Optional-Diced
Cheese-Italian Mix (pre-bagged)
One bottle of Alfredo-whatever kind you prefer (we used just original Alfredo)
After the dough has risen split it in half, then spread it on a floured surface then form it into a circle that will fit on your pizza pan. Add sauce, and toppings as wanted :)
WHAT IS MISSING?
Yes, there is quite a few things missing when it comes nutritional value ,but there are multiple options to filling in the blanks. Including but not limited to, a salad consisting of lettuce and other vegetables or as mentioned before a fruit cut up to be eaten as a side. Other options include other things that you can put as a topping on the pizza such as, spinach, onions, bacon etc. That is the best part of this recipe-you can make it your own! (You could also use red sauce instead of Alfredo)
Hope you enjoy! :) I did!
