Grilled Chicken and Vodka Pizza
Everyone has a go-to meal for when they need to make something fast but don't have time or energy to devote to a really fancy meal. For me that easy meal is pizza. All three people in the Stephanie Cook's household love homemade pizza so that makes it an even easier choice. I know it's almost taboo to admit this in food blogging world but I LOVE Boboli's thin crust pizza crust. When I cook it on my pizza stone at 450 (or even 500) it gets so crisp and light. I still love me some homemade dough, but when I'm in a pinch a thin crust Boboli is my go-to meal.
I recently spent a LOT on a jar of vodka sauce (well, I thought it was a lot... $8 for a jar of sauce is steep but I was dying to try it) and I didn't want to see any go to waste. After making pasta with vodka sauce one night I found myself with 1/2 a jar left. I decided to use it on pizza and it was delicious! John kept raving about it and even Landon was enjoying it. I still have quite a bit left so I think I'll be making this again this week!

Ingredients:
1 pizza crust
1 tsp olive oil
1 grilled chicken breast, sliced thin
1/2-3/4 cup vodka sauce
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 tsp dried parsley
Directions:
1- Preheat the oven with a pizza stone in it to 450.
2- Heat the oil on high in a nonstick skillet. Add the chicken and 2 tbsps vodka sauce. Allow it to brown around the chicken, stirring often.
3- Pour remaining sauce over the crust and spread evenly.
4- Top with grilled chicken.
5- Top with marinara sauce and parsley.
6- Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden.
This sounds amazing! I've heard of vodka sauce for pasta but not pizza, and I love to experiment with different pizzas so I'm going to have to try this
