Method
Roasted Chicken
- 1
Preheat and season
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbs olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Roast
Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment. Roast in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes, then slice or shred into bite-sized pieces.
Alfredo Sauce
- 3
Make roux and sauté garlic
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tbs unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

Add flour and dairy
Stir in 1 tbs flour and cook 30 seconds to remove raw taste. Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth and beginning to thicken, about 2–3 minutes.

Finish sauce
Reduce heat to low and whisk in 3 tbs grated Parmesan. Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. Simmer gently 2–3 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep warm off heat.
Dough & Assembly

Prepare oven and dough
Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C) for at least 30 minutes. Lightly dust a pizza peel or work surface with 2 tbs flour. Stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round, leaving a slightly thicker rim for the crust.

Assemble pizza
Brush the dough edge lightly with 1 tsp olive oil. Spread an even layer (about 3/4 cup) of the warm Alfredo sauce over the dough, leaving the rim clear. Distribute the roasted chicken pieces evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella evenly across the pizza. Finish with 2 tbs additional grated Parmesan.

Bake
Slide the assembled pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake at 500°F (260°C) for 8–12 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Finish and serve
Remove pizza from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Slice into 6–8 pieces and serve hot.
