To make Chicken Alfredo Pizza, gather these key ingredients: - 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded - 1 cup alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade) - 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1 cup fresh baby spinach - 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish) You can swap some items if needed. For the pizza dough, use whole wheat or cauliflower crust. If you don’t have chicken, try using cooked shrimp or even mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Instead of alfredo sauce, you can use pesto or a white sauce. For cheeses, feel free to mix in provolone or cheddar. Choosing fresh ingredients makes your pizza tastier. Look for chicken that’s moist with no strange smells. For the spinach, choose vibrant green leaves that are crisp. When selecting cheeses, pick ones that are firm and smell fresh. Fresh parsley should be bright green and not wilted. Always check the expiration dates on sauces and dough. Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will elevate your Chicken Alfredo Pizza! {{ingredient_image_2}} First, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, put it in the oven to warm up. Next, take your pizza dough and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a circle about 12 inches wide. This gives you a nice base for your pizza. After rolling, move the dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel. Dust it lightly with flour or cornmeal to stop it from sticking. Now it’s time to build your pizza! Brush the top of the dough with olive oil. This helps keep the crust crispy. Spread the alfredo sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a small edge for the crust. Then, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese all over the sauce. Make sure to cover every bit for that cheesy goodness. Next, add your shredded chicken on top of the cheese. Season it with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Don’t hold back! Place the fresh spinach leaves on next, and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Carefully slide your pizza into the hot oven or onto the pizza stone. Bake it for about 12 to 15 minutes. You want the crust to turn golden brown and the cheese to melt and bubble. When it’s ready, take it out and let it cool for a minute. This step makes cutting easier and keeps your fingers safe from burns. Before you serve, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and flavor. Enjoy your Chicken Alfredo Pizza! To make a great crust, start with the right dough. You can use store-bought or homemade dough. Roll it out evenly on a floured surface. Aim for about 12 inches wide. This size fits well in most ovens. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, heat it too. Brush olive oil on the dough. This keeps the crust crisp and helps it brown nicely. You can change the taste of your Chicken Alfredo Pizza with seasonings. Garlic powder adds a nice kick. Italian seasoning brings warmth and depth. Feel free to add your favorites. Want a little heat? A pinch of red pepper flakes works great. Adjust salt and pepper to fit your taste. The more you experiment, the more unique your pizza will be! To get gooey, melty cheese, use fresh mozzarella and Parmesan. Grate them just before using. This helps them melt better. Spread the mozzarella evenly on the alfredo sauce. Make sure to cover every inch. A hint of olive oil on top can help the cheese brown. Bake until the cheese bubbles and the crust is golden. This way, you'll enjoy a cheesy delight with every slice! Pro Tips Use a Pizza Stone: If you have one, using a pizza stone can help achieve a crispier crust by evenly distributing heat during baking. Keep Ingredients Room Temperature: Let the shredded chicken and cheese come to room temperature before using them. This helps them melt evenly and enhances the overall texture. Experiment with Toppings: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite toppings, such as mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes, to customize your pizza and make it even more delicious. Cool Before Slicing: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes after baking. This helps the cheese set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve without making a mess. {{image_4}} You can change the sauce to fit your taste. Try using a ranch dressing for a creamy twist. A pesto sauce adds a fresh, herby flavor. You could also use a barbecue sauce for a smoky kick. Each sauce brings a unique taste to your pizza. Add toppings to make your pizza even better. Sliced mushrooms give an earthy taste. Red onions add a sweet crunch. You might enjoy adding sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy bite. For heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top. The right toppings can make each slice exciting. Cheese is key to a great pizza. While mozzarella is classic, you can mix it up. Try using gouda for a rich, smoky flavor. Feta cheese brings a salty tang. You can even use a vegan cheese for a dairy-free option. Each cheese offers its own special taste and texture. To keep your Chicken Alfredo Pizza fresh, wrap it well.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 dough pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a round shape, aiming for about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel that has been dusted with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  • With a brush or your hands, lightly coat the surface of the dough with olive oil. This will help create a barrier and prevent the base from becoming soggy.
  • Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the alfredo sauce over the pizza dough, ensuring to leave a small border around the edges for the crust.
  • Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese across the alfredo sauce, making sure to cover all areas for a perfect cheesy layer.
  • Distribute the shredded chicken across the mozzarella. Season your pizza with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Layer the fresh spinach leaves on top of the chicken, and generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the assemblage for an extra cheesy kick.
  • Carefully slide your pizza into the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone). Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is a beautifully golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
  • Once your pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute. This will make slicing easier and prevent burns.
  • Just before serving, garnish with the freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant touch and enhance the flavors.
