Chicken Mudega Pizza (Pizza with Chicken and Prosciutto over a Lemon Wine Sauce)


Pizza. Quite possibly the best meal ever. All of my favorites in one bite. Bread, cheese, indulgence. And the best thing about pizza is that it can be completely new every time to make (or order) one by switching up a few things here and there. Last time you went simple with pepperoni, why don't you try a chicken pizza this time?

One day when eating one of my new favorites, I thought about how great it would be on a pizza. A white wine lemon sauce with chicken and prosciutto. It was a real winner, that's for sure!

Chicken Mudega Pizza (or, Pizza with Chicken and Prosciutto on a Lemon Wine Sauce)
Ingredients:
1 recipe of your favorite pizza dough, homemade or store bought
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 onion, finely diced
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 Tablespoon chicken broth, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 Tablespoons half and half
3 ounces prosciutto, diced in thin strips
1 cup cooked shredded or cubed chicken
1/2 cup sliced, sauteed mushrooms if desired (I omit)
4 ounces White American Cheese, shredded *
4 ounces Mozzarella, shredded *
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke *

** Note - if you're in St. Louis, use 8 ounces of shredded Provel cheese for the most authentic "mudega" experience, otherwise the combination of White American, Mozzarella and liquid smoke is a great substitute **

Directions:
Preheat oven according to the dough recipe you're using

To prepare the sauce, heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a small sauce pan. Add onion and saute about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and saute about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup broth, wine and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until heated through.In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1 1/2 Tablespoons chicken broth. Stir in half and half then slowly stir in to sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

To top the pizza, In a small skillet, heat remaining olive oil and add sliced prosciutto. Saute about 3 minutes until the prosciutto is slightly crispy. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate.

Lightly flour your workstation (counter top, silicone mat, etc.), rolling pin and dough. Roll dough out to the desired thickness and size for your pizza. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the prepared sauce, and spread evenly over the dough to about 1/2" from the edge.

If using a cheese mixture, mix the cheeses and liquid smoke. Sprinkle the dough with cheese. Top with prosciutto, chicken and mushrooms.

Bake in the oven according to the instructions for your dough, until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble and brown.

Allow to sit a few quick minutes before slicing and enjoying hot (just not scalding hot!)

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
