Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Pizza
For the Pizza:
- 1 loaf French bread, sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 cups cooked and diced chicken breast
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 3/4 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade, see below)
- Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Bacon crumbles (optional, for garnish)
For the Garlic Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce (Optional):
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To Make the Pizza:
- Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter – In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce (Optional) – In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Garlic Bread Base – Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the French bread halves.
- Layer the Ingredients – Spoon Alfredo sauce over the garlic-buttered bread halves, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the Alfredo sauce. Evenly distribute the diced chicken over the cheese layer. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the Pizza – Place the assembled bread halves on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Garnish – Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle with extra Alfredo sauce if desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro and bacon crumbles for added flavor.
- Enjoy! Serve warm and savor your Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Pizza, the ultimate comfort food!
