Photo: Pizza Pot Pies Recipe
Ingredients
Tomato Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary leaves
- 2 ounces diced pancetta
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pizza Pot Pies:
- 3 cups Tomato Sauce
- 2 cups diced roasted chicken
- 2 cups broccoli cut into small, bite-sized pieces
- 1 1/2 cups diced mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds pizza dough
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Directions
Special equipment: 6 (10-ounce) ramekins
For the Tomato Sauce: Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, rosemary, and pancetta. Saute until the pancetta is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir to combine, and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl combine the Tomato Sauce, chicken, broccoli, mozzarella, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the ramekins. Roll out the pizza dough and cut circles with a pairing knife that are 1-inch wider in diameter than the ramekins. Place the circles of dough over the filled ramekins and press down to seal, making sure to pull the dough over the edge of the ramekin. Brush the top of the pizza dough with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cut a small slit in the top of the pizza dough with a pairing knife. Bake until the pizza crust is golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Made this tonight and it was just okay for me. It was not bad, but not something I would crave to make again. The sauce was excellent, broccoli could have been pre-steamed a little and it needed just a little something more. Something fun and different to make, but not a gotta keep the recipe kinda meal.

I made this dish with my boyfriend who will eat just about anything, but he didn't quite finish this home made pizza pot pie. Which translates to 'meh'. He's not exactly a chef, but me being a foody didn't care for the upside-down, dough on-top pizza concept, either. I thought pizza + pot pie, how could this possibly go wrong!? Well, I can't put my finger on it, but it didn't go right. The homemade tomato sauce, however, was the best I've ever had!!! I loved it so much I'm stealing the recipe to use for pasta dishes from now on.
