Chicken Cordon Pizza

We have homemade pizza quite a bit and I like to experiment with new toppings and sauces and such. We had a really good one tonight :) We had chicken cordon bleu last night and there was a lot of sauce left over in the pan. So I saved it and used it on our pizza tonight. Yummy! I rolled out my pizza dough, covered it in the sauce and topped it with chicken and green peppers. It was really good!

Sauce Ingredients:~ 1 can cream of chicken soup
~ 1 cup sour cream
~ 2 tsp. lemon juice
~ 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
(~ 1/2 cup Pepperjack cheese)

Everything except the Pepperjack cheese was used in the sauce last night. I used pepperjack cheese on top of the chicken though and as it melted some got mixed into the sauce. This is of course optional, you can use any kind of cheese you want. But having a bit of pepperjack did give it a nice kick!
This pizza dough recipe comes from my older sister and is the best that I've tried! It's very simple too!
Pizza Dough:
~ 1 T dry yeast
~ 1 cup warm water
~ 1 tsp. sugar
~ 1 1/2 tsp. salt
~ 2 Tbsp. oil
~ 2-3 cups flour
~ Italian seasoning (optional)

Dissolve yeast in water; add sugar, salt, oil, and flour. If desired, sprinkle in Italian Seasoning before rising--this is not required but it adds some fun Italian flavor (I didn't add this tonight but I have before and it's delicious!) Place in greased bowl; let stand until doubles in size--usually about 40 minutes. Grease the bottom of a pan and shape. Especially good when cooked on a baking stone. Bake at 375 for 15-17 min. Makes 2 pizza crusts or 1 thick crust.

I usually double the recipe and freeze half for later. It doesn't roll out quite as well after it's been frozen but it's still works and then we can have pizza even more!

We had good old-fashioned pepperoni too :) This one's always good!
