Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pound pizza dough
Sauce
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F and lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it carefully to the prepared pan.
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Alfredo sauce with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the seasoned Alfredo sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Add Toppings: Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the sauce, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses on top.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the assembled toppings to enhance flavor and help the crust crisp.
- Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top, slice into 8 pieces, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
- For added flavor, consider adding spinach, mushrooms, or bacon as toppings.
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
