# Cooking Steps:

04 - Scatter cooked chicken evenly over sauce. Sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper.
05 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese followed by Parmesan cheese. Add red onion slices if desired.
06 - Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns two comfort food classics into one ridiculously satisfying dinner that feels like a treat without the takeout wait.
  • The creamy Alfredo base makes every bite feel indulgent, and the golden crust soaks up just enough sauce to stay crispy on the edges.
  • You can throw it together faster than most delivery times, and it tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.
02 -
  • If you skip the olive oil brush on the dough, the Alfredo sauce can make the center soggy, so don't skip that step even if you're in a hurry.
  • Letting the dough come to room temperature for at least fifteen minutes makes stretching it so much easier and prevents that frustrating snap back.
  • If your oven runs cool, add an extra two minutes of baking time or the cheese won't get those gorgeous golden spots.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter or sharp kitchen shears to slice this cleanly without dragging all the toppings off, which happens more than I'd like to admit.
  • If you want extra garlic flavor, mix a little minced garlic into the Alfredo sauce before spreading it, and the whole pizza will taste like garlic bread heaven.
  • A light drizzle of good olive oil over the finished pizza adds richness and makes the parsley stick, plus it looks gorgeous on the table.
