Chicken!
Method
Chicken!
- 1
Prep and roast the chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp garlic powder. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the chicken 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes, then slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the alfredo sauce
If your alfredo sauce is cold or thin, warm 1 cup prepared alfredo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until gentle simmer. If sauce is too thin, mix 1/2 tsp cornstarch with 1 tsp water to make a slurry and whisk into the simmering sauce, cook 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if necessary. Keep warm over very low heat.

Preheat and prepare crust
Preheat oven (or pizza stone) to 475°F (245°C) for a crisp crust. If using a 12-inch pre-baked crust, you can lower temp to 425°F (220°C). Lightly flour a work surface and stretch/roll the dough to a 12-inch round if using fresh dough. Transfer dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment.

Assemble the pizza
Spread the warmed alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Distribute the sliced roasted chicken evenly across the pizza. Scatter 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon bits over the top. Evenly distribute 1/2 cup drained pineapple tidbits, spacing them so they’ll roast rather than pool. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta over the whole pizza. If you want a little heat, lightly sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes.

Bake
Slide the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake at 475°F (245°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and starting to brown. If using a pre-baked crust at 425°F, bake 8-10 minutes—watch for browning.

Finish and serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let rest 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the top. Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot. Optional: offer extra red pepper flakes at the table.
