How to Make Chicken Alfredo Pizza Rolls
This dish brings together creamy, cheesy flavors with soft baked pizza dough in a fun rolled shape. Here is how everything comes together:
• Ready to bake pizza dough as the base
• Creamy Alfredo sauce spread evenly
• Cooked chicken for hearty protein
• Simple vegetables for color and texture
• Shredded mozzarella for a melty finish
• Rolled, sliced, and baked until golden
It is a low stress recipe that feels fun and comforting, with very little cleanup at the end.
Ingredients
• 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
• about 1/3 cup Alfredo sauce
• about 1 cup cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
• about 1 cup total vegetables (such as broccoli, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, or artichoke hearts)
• about 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Preheat the oven to the temperature listed on the pizza dough package, usually around 425 degrees. - Open and Shape the Dough:
Carefully open the tube of pizza dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press or roll it out into a rectangle about 10 by 15 inches. - Add the Sauce:
Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges so it does not spill out. - Add the Fillings:
Sprinkle the chicken, vegetables, and mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce so every bite has a little of everything. - Roll the Dough:
Starting from the short side, gently roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam closed at the end to help keep it sealed. - Slice the Rolls:
Use a sharp knife to cut the roll in half, then cut each half into three pieces to make six rolls. - Arrange on the Pan:
Turn each roll so one of the cut sides is facing down on the baking sheet. Tuck in any filling that may have slipped out. - Bake the Rolls:
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly browned and cooked through. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Process Details
• Using Cooked Chicken: Starting with cooked chicken saves time and keeps the rolls tender and juicy.
• Spreading Evenly: Spreading the sauce and toppings evenly helps the rolls bake evenly and keeps them from falling apart.
• Rolling Gently: Rolling the dough slowly helps keep the fillings inside instead of squeezing them out.
• Baking Until Golden: Light browning on top means the dough is cooked and the cheese inside is nicely melted.
Tips for Success
• Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add flavor.
• Do not overfill the dough, too many toppings can make rolling messy.
• Cut with a sharp knife for clean edges.
• Try different vegetables like spinach or bell peppers if you like.
• Let the rolls rest for a few minutes after baking so they hold their shape.
Serving Ideas
• Dinner Plate: Serve with a simple green salad on the side.
• Lunch Box: Pack cooled rolls for an easy cold lunch.
• Dipping Style: Add extra warm Alfredo sauce for dipping.
• Kid Friendly Meal: Let kids choose their own vegetable toppings.
Storage & Freezing
• Refrigerator: Store cooled rolls in an airtight container for up to about 3 days.
• Reheating: Warm in the oven or microwave until heated through, adding a short time if needed.
• Freezing: Freeze baked and cooled rolls in a freezer safe container for up to about 2 months.
• From Frozen: Reheat in the oven until warm, the texture may be slightly softer but still tasty.
