"When I first got the call from Jamie that I was going to have to cook dinner, I'm not gonna lie, I panicked. Since I have been married I have probably cooked less than 10 meals. Don't get me wrong, I have helped plenty of times, but I rarely fly solo in the kitchen. In fact, Jamie will contest that my cooking repertoire consists of Hamburger Helper and grilling. So, as I was reading over the recipe that Jamie had left out for the chicken and artichoke pizza I just kept thinking to myself, "I really hope this is edible when I'm done." Luckily for both of is, it turned out better than I ever could have expected. To my surprise making the pizza was pretty easy. One of the things I found helpful was using the Pillsbury pizza dough that comes in the tube for the crust and a pre-made pesto sauce. It was a little difficult to roll out the dough at first, but after the dough warmed up I was able to roll out about a 14" pizza onto our pizza stone. I spread the pesto sauce onto the pizza dough and then put on a layer of mozzarella cheese. On top of that I put two chopped up chicken breasts as well as the canned artichoke hearts that I had chopped up as well. I topped it all off with some Parmesan cheese and then put the pizza into the oven for about 12 minutes. After the timer went off I looked in the oven and magically a really delicious looking pizza appeared. Overall, I would say my brief experience with dinner responsibilities was a big success. Not only did dinner turn out great and I proved that I can follow a recipe and cook dinner in a pinch, but I also got a break from doing dishes that night!"
