Every once in a while, I like a good cheater meal.  One that relies on a prepared ingredient to speed dinner prep.  This one uses two such ingredients – a jar of alfredo sauce and prepared pizza crust.  You could probably also count the bag of pre-washed spinach and shredded cheese too.

In fact, the only thing I really cooked for this was the grilled chicken.  If you’re in a big hurry, you could buy those grilled chicken strips from the meat section of the grocery.  I used the George Foreman to grill mine since the grill was covered with snow.

What can I say?  I like to cheat at dinner prep sometimes.  Call me lazy.

Here’s what you’ll need, if you’re a cheat, like me:

Chicken Florentine Pizza

Ingredients

• 2 pizza crusts
• 1 jar Alfredo sauce
• 1-2 cups fresh spinach
• 2-3 cups grilled chicken sliced (I used 9 chicken tenders)
• 2 Roma tomatoes sliced thin
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

• Spread Alfredo sauce on the crust. I used about 3/4 of the jar for 2 pizzas.
• Layer spinach, chicken and tomatoes.
• Drizzle with the rest of the Alfredo.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

I made one pizza with no tomatoes for the kids.  Use the extra spinach for a salad.

You could also use grilled chicken that you’ve sliced and frozen for this pizza.
