Brown Butter Alfredo Chicken Pizza
Description
This pizza begins with an Alfredo sauce made by browning salted butter to develop a nutty aroma, then adding heavy cream. Parmesan cheese is melted into the mixture for a smooth, rich sauce, seasoned with salt and black pepper. The sauce is split to coat the pizza dough and toss chicken cubes, infusing flavor throughout.
The pizza dough is shaped and topped with half the sauce, chicken coated in the other half, and sprinkled with grated Italian cheese blend and seasoning. Baking at a high temperature crisps the crust and melts the cheese with slight browning, creating a textural contrast between creamy topping and crispy base.
This dish works well as a comforting main course, offering familiar flavors fused into a satisfying pizza form.
Ingredients
for the alfredo sauce-
- 1/4 cup butter salted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
for the pizza-
- 1 lb. pizza dough brand Fail-Proof
- 1 1/2 cups chicken rotisserie, cubed
- 2 cups Italian cheese blend grated
- Italian seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Swirl pan occasionally to brown milk solids in the butter. Once the butter starts to turn a medium brown color, turn heat to low and immediately pour in the cream. Pan will sizzle, but as you stir it will subside. Sprinkle in cheese and continue stirring until cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth. Taste and add in salt and lots of pepper, as desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread pizza dough out to a large circle. Spread half of the alfredo sauce onto the pizza dough. Toss rotisserie chicken in the rest of the sauce to moisten and top pizza with chicken. Sprinkle with cheese and Italian seasoning.
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until the crust is crispy and the cheese has browned slightly. Serve!
