Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza


Use your favorite pizza crust for this recipe. It's a nice change of pace for pizza dinner.

Day 1:
Place 2 chicken breasts in a mixture of:
2 t garlic
1/2 c Caesar dressing
3 T balsamic vinegar
pinch of black pepper
Marinate chicken for 24 hours.

Day 2:
Wrap chicken in foil and bake at 400˚F for 20-30 minutes. While chicken bakes, slice 6 Roma tomatoes and season to taste with basil, salt and pepper. Place slices between layers of paper towel to draw out excess moisture. Shred baked chicken and set aside. Shred a head of Romaine lettuce and toss with Caesar dressing to taste.

Sprinkle pizza stones with cornmeal and press out prepared crusts. Cover with Caesar dressing. Top with chicken pieces and a combination of 1 lb shredded Mozzarella, 1 lb shredded Parmesan, and 1/2 c shredded Cheddar. Season with basil, minced garlic and black pepper to taste. Bake at 425˚F for 10-12 minutes. Immediately upon removing pizza from oven, place tomato slices on top. Top with dressed lettuce or serve on the side.

Yields 2 pizza pies.
