Here, blue cheese, shiitake mushrooms and blackened seasoning blend lend a tasty change to traditional pizza. Add a mixed green salad to make the meal complete. —Michelle Huelskamp, Marion, North Carolina

Ingredients

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed
8 bacon strips, chopped
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
5 teaspoons blackened seasoning
3 shallots, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce
2-1/2 cups sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 can (3.8 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1/2 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1-1/4 cups (5 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 3 teaspoons dried basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
12 slices provolone cheese
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved into strips, or 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. Roll dough into two 16x10-in. rectangles; transfer to ungreased baking sheets and build up edges slightly.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Sprinkle chicken with blackened seasoning; cook chicken in the drippings until no longer pink. Add shallots and garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Set aside.
Spread sauce over crusts; top with chicken mixture, bacon, mushrooms, olives and tomatoes. Sprinkle with blue cheese, basil and thyme; top with provolone and Parmesan cheeses.
Bake for 14-18 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
