The Best Homemade Chicken Alfredo Pizza
We love having pizza night at our house. But instead of taking the easy route and ordering delivery, my kids beg me to make homemade pizza. With this simple homemade pizza dough, it’s so easy! I can usually have it in and out of the oven before a delivery guy would arrive! And I do agree with my kids- it tastes SO much better. As quick and easy as this recipe is, a homemade pizza is only as good as its toppings! Chicken alfredo is one of my absolute favorites. It’s a classic for good reason, so savory and creamy! The key to the best flavor is to use homemade alfredo sauce. From there, you just layer on juicy chicken breast, red onion for some crunch, shredded mozzarella, and all the bacon!

Dough Ingredients:
Warm Water: Helps the dough become malleable and activates the yeast.Sugar: Both sugar and salt keep your pizza crust from tasting bland.Yeast: I used instant dry yeast for the dough!Flour: All-purpose flour works great here. Whole wheat is great too! You can find my full recipe for whole wheat pizza dough here.Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the crust.Cornmeal: Used for dusting so the dough doesn’t stick to the pan.Olive Oil: This is for brushing on the crust. It adds a little extra moisture and gives it the perfect sheen!
Alfredo Ingredients:
Butter: Adds a delicious creaminess and rich flavor to the alfredo sauce!Heavy Whipping Cream: This is what makes the sauce so thick and indulgent. You can also use half and half or whole milk as a substitute.Garlic: Minced garlic will give your sauce the best savory flavor, but garlic powder works great too!Salt and Black Pepper: Add both for a boost of flavor!Italian Seasoning: I put Italian seasoning in everything, it’s just so good! You can use premade seasoning or make your own batch using my tried and true recipe here. Making your own seasoning blends is the best because you can adjust the flavor to your liking!Grated Parmesan Cheese: This is the key to creamy, cheesy sauce with the best flavor!Flour: Adjusts the consistency of the alfredo sauce.
Pizza Toppings:
Chicken: You’ll want this to be cooked and shredded so you can add it evenly on top of your chicken alfredo pizza. Shredding rotisserie chicken is an easy way to have this on hand, ready to go!Bacon: I like using precooked bacon for easy prep!Sliced Red Onion: Adds the best crunch and pop of sharp, savory flavor!Mozzarella Cheese: No pizza is complete without some melty mozzarella! Use freshly-grated mozzarella if possible. It has much better flavor and melts more easily than what’s available prepackaged at the store.
