Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Rolling pin (or use hands to stretch dough)
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg Optional

For the Pizza:

  • 1 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, ~12-inch round)
  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup additional Parmesan (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Make the Alfredo Sauce:
    In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter—do not let it brown.
    Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until softened, but without color.
    Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking to combine. Heat until steaming, but not boiling.
    Whisk in the grated Parmesan until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
    Season with a small pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny dash of nutmeg (optional).
    Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon—pourable, not thick.
  • Prepare the Pizza Base:
    On a floured surface, roll or stretch out the dough to a 12-inch round.
    Transfer to a pizza peel or parchment if using a pizza stone; otherwise, place directly on a baking sheet.
  • Assemble the Pizza:
    Spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over the dough, avoiding the edges. Use just enough for a creamy layer—don’t overload it.
    Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the sauce.
    Sprinkle mozzarella on top, and finish with extra Parmesan if using.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
  • Finish and Serve:
    Let the pizza rest for 2–3 minutes.
    Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Sauce Consistency: The sauce should be silky, not thick like a cheese dip. If it gets too thick, thin with a tablespoon of warm cream.
  • Cheese Options: Add provolone or fontina for extra melt and flavor.
  • Crust Crispiness: Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes before adding sauce if you like a crisper base.
  • Leftovers: Store in the fridge and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
