Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Cutting Board
- Whisk
- Frying Pan
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 small (8oz) boneless skinless chicken breast cooked and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic minced or crushed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk any percentage
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup (4oz) shredded mozzarella
- 2 Naan loaves
- Basil optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F, making sure it’s hot enough to give your pizza a lovely, crispy crust. This step is crucial for achieving that delightful texture.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning. As it begins to melt, add garlic and cook until it turns golden, about 30 seconds. You'll smell that aromatic goodness filling the kitchen!
- Once the garlic is golden, sprinkle in the flour and cook, whisking continuously for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You're looking for a light brown color, which indicates it’s ready for the next step.
- Slowly whisk in milk, continuing to whisk constantly until the sauce thickens and bubbles, roughly 5 minutes. This is the moment where your sauce starts to transform into something creamy and dreamy.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Each ingredient adds depth to your sauce, so take a moment to appreciate the flavor.
- On a baking sheet, place your naan loaves. Divide the Alfredo sauce evenly between the two, making sure each loaf gets its fair share of sauce.
- Top the Alfredo sauce with the cooked, diced chicken and a generous amount of mozzarella. Don’t skimp here; you want that cheesy goodness!
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes on top. They will roast beautifully in the oven and add a burst of flavor.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the crust to be toasted and the cheese melted, bubbling away.
- Once done, remove from the oven and top with fresh basil, if desired. Slice up your Naan Chicken Alfredo Pizza and enjoy every bite!
