Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Topping
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce, small amount for coating chicken
Pizza Crust
- 2 (6.5 oz) packs pizza crust mix (or pre-made crust), plus ingredients needed according to package directions
Pizza Sauce and Toppings
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- Dried parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and season evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken thoroughly until no longer pink inside, then remove from heat and toss with a small amount of Parmesan Garlic Sauce to coat and infuse flavor.
- Prepare Crust: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the pizza crust according to the package instructions. Spread the dough on a greased baking sheet and poke holes in the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake the crust at 475°F (245°C) for 5-10 minutes until partially cooked.
- Assemble Pizza: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle a portion of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Distribute the cooked Parmesan garlic-coated chicken evenly across the pizza, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and chopped bacon.
- Bake Pizza: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake at 475°F (245°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with dried parsley for a fresh herbal note, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute pre-made pizza crust to save time.
- Adjust the amount of Parmesan Garlic Sauce when tossing the chicken to taste.
- Bacon can be cooked in advance or replaced with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the crust for a few extra minutes before assembling.
- Use a pizza stone if available for an even crisper base.
