Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough

Sauce

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup creamy Alfredo sauce
  • 12 cloves garlic, freshly minced

Toppings

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Finishing Touches

  • 12 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing crust and drizzling)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. For a crunchy crust, keep it thin; for a chewier bite, leave it a bit thicker. Transfer it carefully to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  2. Spread the Alfredo Sauce: Generously slather a layer of creamy Alfredo sauce over the surface of the dough, ensuring an even coating that will become the rich base of your pizza.
  3. Add the Chicken and Cheese: Scatter cooked chicken pieces evenly over the sauced dough. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly and finish with a light dusting of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly with slight browning.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle fresh chopped basil or parsley on top. Drizzle olive oil over the crust edges before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use warm chicken tossed in garlic butter to keep it juicy and flavorful.
  • A thin layer of Alfredo sauce prevents the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Bake at a high temperature to achieve a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
  • If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven for an authentic pizzeria crunch.
  • Add fresh herbs after baking to preserve their vibrant color and aroma.
