Steps:
- To Make Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Blend in salt, pepper and flour, then stir in the milk and Romano cheese. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
- To Make the Garlic Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Blend in the garlic, rosemary, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is tender but not browned. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
- To Make the Dough: Pour the warm water into a small bowl and stir in the yeast until dissolved. Allow to rest until yeast foams, about 5 minutes. Mix the vegetable oil, sugar, salt, rosemary, and garlic powder together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture, and gradually stir in the flour. Gather into a loose ball and knead until a smooth ball forms. Cover, and let rest 1/2 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Season the roasted chicken with rosemary, thyme, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and salt. Chop or shred and reserve.
- To Assemble the Pizza: Spread dough out on prepared pizza stone. Top with cooled garlic butter, covering entire crust. Next spread with Alfredo Sauce (if necessary, warm to spreading consistency), leaving crust edges. Top with chicken, turning to coat with sauce.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until bottom crust is lightly browned. Remove from oven and let set for 2 to 3 minutes before cutting.

CHICKEN BROCCOLI ALFREDO PIZZA
My teenage sons favorite pizza! I make this for him and his friends every weekend along with a meat lovers with bacon. This is always the first to go! It's so easy too, since I buy the dough and a precooked small chicken at the deli, and the alfredo sauce is just from a jar.

Steps:
- 1. place broccoli in a pot of boiling water to cook till tender. (10-15 min. ) preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- 2. while broccoli is cooking, flour your surface and roll out the dough one at a time to fit your pans. I use 2 medium cookie sheets since they fit side by side in the oven. stretch the dough over the pans to over hang.
- 3. Let the dough rest while you shred the mozzarella cheese. Divide the cheese in half.
- 4. roll the over hanging dough to make the crust. pour some alfredo sauce on the dough and spread with a spoon.
- 5. sprinkle mozzarella on top of alfredo sauce.
- 6. add the toppings: drain broccoli. arrange florets across pizza. cut or tear pieces of chicken and arrange across pizza. ( I have used left over chicken cutlets as well as baked chicken. I have even purchased an already cooked small chicken at the deli when I buy the pizza dough.
- 7. combine the melted butter with the garlic powder. use a brush to speed the mix on the crust. This makes a garlic bread stick crust.
- 8. sprinkle the toppings with a handful or two of parmesean cheese.
- 9. bake in 425 degree oven till the cheese bubbles and has spots of golden brown. Approx. 15 min. may be more. when done slide out of pan onto table and cut into 8 pieces each pizza. enjoy

Tips:
- To make the Alfredo sauce, use high-quality ingredients. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream will give you the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own Alfredo sauce, you can use a store-bought variety. Just be sure to choose one that is made with real Parmesan cheese and cream.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to your pizza, such as mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers.
- To get a crispy crust, be sure to preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. This will make it soggy.
- If you're using fresh broccoli, be sure to blanch it before adding it to the pizza. This will help to preserve its color and crunch.
- Serve the pizza immediately after it comes out of the oven. This is when it will be at its best.
