Equipment

  • 1 pizza stone preheated
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Saucepan

Ingredients
  

Alfredo Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Pizza Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Toppings

  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups grilled chicken sliced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and stir continuously. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add olive oil and warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F with a pizza stone inside to heat.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Spread alfredo sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Top with mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Baking

  • Transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Serving

  • Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Storage

  • Wrap any leftover pizza slices in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use a pizza stone to achieve a crispy crust. Pre-cook the chicken to prevent it from drying out during baking. Experiment with different cheeses like fontina or asiago for added depth. For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before serving.
Ingredient Substitutions: Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce. Use store-bought pizza dough to save time.
How to Serve: Serve with a side of Caesar salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Pair with a chilled white wine or Italian soda.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the dough and sauce up to a day in advance. Store in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and bake.
