Chicken Pot Pie Pizza

Chicken pot pie meets pizza in this over the top comfort food mash-up! I bet you can’t stop after one slice!

How many times have you made or ordered a pizza with the best intentions of only eating one piece only to find yourself three slices deep 10 minutes later. Yeah, that’s basically what happened when I made this Chicken Pot Pie Pizza.

I knew it was going to be a struggle to limit myself to one slice of this comfort food gone crazy pizza, but I felt strong going into it. I filled half my plate with salad and ate that first thinking it would help fill me up so I wouldn’t gorge on the pizza. But then I took my first bite of delicious hybrid pizza and I knew I was in trouble.

It had everything I love about chicken pot pie in it. The creamy sauce, the peas, carrots, and corn, the chunks of chicken, did I mention the creamy sauce? Then as if the flavors of the pot pie weren’t enough I went ahead and piled it all on pizza dough and topped it with not one, but two kinds of cheese! Did you even know that gooey mozzarella and salty parmesan cheese make chicken pot pie 10 times more amazing? Well you do now!

After I finished my first slice of heaven, because basically that’s what this pizza is, I told myself I could have just one more slice. I ran hard that morning, so dammit I deserved it! The second slice was more or less inhaled rather than eaten slowly and savored with a fork.

I stared intently at the remaining pizza realizing it was almost gone because my husband was already a slice ahead of me and appeared to not be stopping anytime soon. I glared at him refusing to let him get the rest of this glorious pizza. Now it was a competition and I don’t back down lightly. I snatched that third piece of pizza and ate it with gusto! Sure I could hardly breathe because I was so full and yes I did go lay on the floor in a food coma, but trust me when I say that this chicken pot pie pizza is worth it.
