Tasty Kitchen member Jennifer is the mastermind behind the brilliant idea that is Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Pizza.

Did you hear that? Chicken Alfredo. Garlic Bread. Pizza. All rolled into one!

Those are three pretty fantastic reasons to make this recipe.

This is perfect as an appetizer, party finger food, or even a weeknight main dish along with a side salad. It literally has layer upon layer of flavor: buttery garlic bread spread, then chicken in a creamy Alfredo sauce, broccoli, and finally a layer of gooey cheese. It doesn’t get any more satisfying.

You know you want to make it!

 
 
 

The recipe starts off by shredding a couple different kinds of cheese. First, some Parmesan for making the Alfredo sauce …

 
 
 

And mozzarella for topping. Mmm, cheese.

 
 
 

The ingredient list is fairly short for something so delicious! You’ll need cooked, shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, butter, half and half, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, garlic powder, salt, pepper, a loaf of Italian bread, and a clove of garlic (which I think was hiding behind my bread in the photo above!).

 
 
 

Press or mince the garlic.

 
 
 

Melt the butter.

 
 
 

Add the garlic and cook for a minute.

Slowly stir in the half-and-half. I had a little bit of a half-and-half mishap while trying to simultaneously stir, slowly pour, and shoot a picture. I won’t get into it but suffice to say, you’ll have to use your imagination to visualize the adding of the half-and-half.

 
 
 

Add the Parmesan cheese.

 
 
 

Give it a stir, cooking a couple minutes until thickened.

 
 
 

Take the Alfredo sauce off the heat and add parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Try not to eat it with a spoon.

 
 
 

For the garlic bread, blend together more butter, garlic powder, and more parsley flakes in a bowl.

In another bowl, stir together the chicken and Alfredo sauce.

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a large baking sheet with foil or a Silpat liner. (I was out of foil.)

 
 
 

Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

 
 
 

Top with the butter spread.

 
 
 

Then the chicken-Alfredo mixture.

 
 
 

And the broccoli …

 
 
 

And then finally that beautiful mountain of mozzarella.

 
 
 

Bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 to 18 minutes. I wanted my pizza browned a bit in places, so I briefly ran it under the broiler after the cheese was melted (after about 15 minutes). Stay with it if you decide to broil though—it can go from perfect to burned in a matter of seconds!

 
 
 

Slice it up and serve.

 
 
 

Just try to resist a slice! Give it a try and I’m sure you’ll have found a new favorite way to enjoy garlic bread, chicken Alfredo, and pizza. Thank you to Jennifer for the delicious inspiration. Be sure to check out the great recipes on her lovely blog Mother Thyme!
