A quick and easy homemade pizza featuring a tender chicken crust topped with creamy bacon Alfredo sauce and melted cheese, perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground chicken (preferably lean, but a bit of fat adds flavor)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup (240ml) Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup (25g) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the chicken mixture onto it and press/spread into a roughly 10-inch (25 cm) round about 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick, keeping thickness uniform.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until edges start turning golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While crust bakes, cook and chop bacon until crispy, and shred mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  6. Remove crust from oven. Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over crust, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top, then scatter crispy bacon pieces evenly.
  7. Return pizza to oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken to keep the crust tender. Press the crust evenly for uniform cooking. Use fresh ground chicken if possible. Pre-cook bacon separately to avoid sogginess. Watch oven temperature and baking time carefully to prevent drying out or burning. Let pizza rest after baking for easier slicing. You can refrigerate shaped crust up to 24 hours before baking. Freeze cooked crust up to 1 month; avoid freezing fully assembled pizza to prevent sogginess.
