We indulge in pizza night on a regular basis, about once a week. To keep things exciting, we constantly change up our recipe choices to avoid monotony. One standout favorite among my family, especially my baby G, is the delicious Chicken Alfredo Pizza.
Chicken Alfredo Pizza Preparation, Servings, and Storage
When it comes to preparation, our Chicken Alfredo Pizza recipe is straightforward but does require time for the dough to rise. To streamline the process, I often prepare the dough in advance. Knead the dough in the morning and refrigerate it until you’re ready to assemble the pizza. It’s important to take the dough out of the fridge an hour before use to allow it to warm up. This makes shaping it a breeze. Once the dough is ready, the assembly and baking can be completed in as little as 35 minutes! One 12-inch pizza typically yields 6 to 8 satisfying servings. If you happen to have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. For the best reheating results, pop the leftover pizza in the oven for five minutes at 425ºF to restore its deliciousness. Enjoy!

- Using the dough hook attachment, knead the dough on low for about 10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl and allow to rise for 2 hours at room temperature or 8 hours in the refrigerator. (If refrigerating the dough, take it out about 1 hour before baking to allow it to warm up a bit.)
Cheesy Garlic Alfredo Sauce
- In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat.
- Add garlic and Italian seasoning. Sauté the garlic for about 2 minutes.
- Add the flour, stir to coat the garlic, and cook for about 3 minutes.

Putting the pizza together
- Preheat the oven to 425℉
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough to make a 12-14 inch circle.
- Place the stretched dough on a pizza pan and cover the dough with the alfredo sauce, leaving about 1/2 to 1 inch around the outside un-sauced.
- Sprinkle a small amount of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese onto the alfredo sauce
- Spread the shredded chicken over the alfredo sauce and cheeses.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella over the entire pizza.
- Top with tomatoes and green onions.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
