Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Chicken Alfredo Pizza is a delightful comfort food combining the creamy richness of Alfredo sauce with the savory goodness of tender chicken, all on a crispy pizza crust. Topped with a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan, it’s baked to golden perfection.

What is Chicken Alfredo Pizza?

Chicken Alfredo Pizza takes everything you love about a creamy, cheesy chicken Alfredo pasta and transforms it into a pizza. Instead of traditional marinara sauce, this pizza is topped with a decadent Alfredo sauce made from heavy cream, butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Slices of tender, seasoned chicken breast are layered over the sauce, and the pizza is finished with mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan. It’s a creamy, cheesy dream that will leave everyone asking for more!

Recipe Variation

• You can use any store-bought or homemade pizza dough. Detailed steps to make it are given below.
• You can add kale (cooked). Heat a pan, add butter and cook the kale until wilted and cooked. Top it over the chicken and then the sauce.
• If you don’t have cream or don’t want to use it anyway, use full-fat whole milk for the sauce to get a rich flavor.
• I used cooked chicken cut into cubes, but you can use any leftover rotisserie chicken or pulse them in the food processor and distribute them evenly over the pizza.

• Add some red pepper flakes and parsley as per your preference.
• You can store the sauce in the fridge for up to 7 days and use it whenever you are making this recipe for the second time.
• If you want to omit the bacon or don’t have it in hand, add some tomatoes instead.

Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Chicken Alfredo Pizza

• Use Store-Bought Pizza Dough: If you’re short on time or want to make the process even simpler, you can always use pre-made pizza dough from your local grocery store. The fresh pizza dough, however, adds a homemade touch and can be customized to your liking.
• Cook the Chicken Well: For the best flavor, make sure your chicken is cooked through and seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder. You can also use rotisserie chicken to save time, just be sure to shred it finely.
• Perfect the Alfredo Sauce: The key to the perfect Alfredo sauce is the right balance of creaminess and flavor. Don’t be afraid to adjust the seasoning by adding more garlic or Parmesan to suit your taste. If the sauce feels too thick, thin it out with a little milk.
• Get the Pizza Extra Crispy: For a crispy crust, bake your pizza on a pizza stone if you have one. This will help the bottom cook evenly and give it a nice crunch. Alternatively, bake on a regular baking sheet, but be sure to preheat it in the oven to mimic the effect of a pizza stone.
• Add a Little Freshness: While the pizza is delicious on its own, topping it with some fresh herbs like basil or parsley after baking will add a nice freshness that balances out the richness of the Alfredo sauce.

How To Make Homemade Pizza Dough The Easy Way?

Ingredients:

• 6 cups all purpose flour (bread flour works best)
• 3 tbsp yeast
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 3 cups warm water
• 6 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a bowl combine water, sugar, and yeast and set aside for a few minutes.
2. Add salt, oil, and then add flour (1 cup at a time).
3. Knead the dough for about 7-8 minutes, set aside and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
4. Punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and place it on a floured surface.
5. Roll and stretch the dough to about 1/2″ thickness. (This dough makes 14 inch pizza crusts). Lightly grease with olive oil, poke the dough with a fork so it doesn’t bubble up.
6. Bake at 500 degrees on a preheated stone for about 8 to 12 minutes or until ready to add toppings.

How to Serve Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Chicken Alfredo Pizza is the star of the meal, so it’s best to keep the sides simple. Here are a few ideas for what to serve alongside your pizza:

• Garlic Breadsticks: Keep the garlic theme going with some warm, buttery garlic breadsticks. The combination of soft breadsticks with the creamy pizza is heavenly.
• Caesar Salad: A classic Caesar salad with crisp romaine, Parmesan cheese, and a tangy dressing is a great way to balance the richness of the pizza.
• Roasted Vegetables: Lightly roasted vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus add a healthy, flavorful contrast to the creamy pizza.

How to Store Chicken Alfredo Pizza

If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store Chicken Alfredo Pizza in the fridge. Here’s how to store it properly:

• In the Fridge: Place any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat in the oven or on a skillet to maintain the crispiness of the crust.
• In the Freezer: If you want to store it for longer, Chicken Alfredo Pizza can be frozen. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will last for up to 2 months in the freezer. To reheat, bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
