Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Crust
- 1 homemade pizza crust
Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cream cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to maintain a smooth sauce. Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Once combined, remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the pizza crust: Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a large circle to your desired thickness. For thicker crusts, pre-bake the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 4-5 minutes. Skip pre-baking if using a thin crust to avoid overcooking.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread the prepared Alfredo sauce evenly over the pizza crust. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by the chopped cooked chicken. Add another layer of mozzarella cheese over the chicken, then finish with a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese.
- Bake the pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the oven preheated to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
- Adjust salt and pepper in the sauce to your taste preference.
- If using pre-cooked chicken from leftovers, reheat slightly before adding to the pizza for best results.
- For a crispier crust, bake on a pizza stone if available.
- Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
