→ Toppings

03 - 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded

→ Seasonings

05 - Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by Parmesan cheese. Add red onion if desired.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It brings together two beloved comfort foods in one golden, cheesy bite.
  • You can have it on the table in half an hour, even on a busy weeknight.
  • The creamy Alfredo base feels indulgent without requiring any fancy technique.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully and taste just as rich the next day.
02 -
  • Brushing the dough with olive oil before adding the sauce is essential, it creates a barrier that keeps the crust from turning soggy under all that creamy Alfredo.
  • Don't skip preheating the oven fully, that initial blast of high heat is what makes the crust crisp up quickly while the toppings melt perfectly.
  • If your chicken is cold from the fridge, let it come to room temperature before topping the pizza so it heats through evenly in the oven.
03 -
  • For an extra crispy crust, bake the dough by itself for 3 to 4 minutes before adding any toppings, this pre-bake step prevents sogginess.
  • Use a pizza stone if you have one, it absorbs moisture and delivers a crispier bottom than a baking sheet ever could.
  • Let the pizza rest for a minute or two after baking so the cheese sets slightly, making it easier to slice without everything sliding off.
