Ingredients

  • 11.36 oz box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
    Short explanation: The ready mix forms the biscuit-style crust with built-in cheddar and seasonings for that signature flavor.
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
    Short explanation: Adds extra cheddar flavor and richness to the biscuit dough.
  • 3/4 cup cold water
    Short explanation: Hydrates the biscuit mix to form the dough; keep it cold for better texture.
  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil
    Short explanation: Used to brush the dough for a light crust sheen and added flavor.
  • 4 tbsp butter
    Short explanation: Adds richness; can be melted for brushing or served on the side.
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
    Short explanation: The main protein; use rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
    Short explanation: Creates the creamy base that coats the chicken and helps hold toppings together.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
    Short explanation: Provides that melty, stretchy cheese topping.
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
    Short explanation: Adds sharp, salty finish to the top of the pizza.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
    Short explanation: Brings a warm garlic note without fresh garlic; blends easily into the sauce.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
    Short explanation: Balances and brightens the flavors; add gradually and taste.

Step-by-step Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with the oven rack in the center. This ensures even heat for a golden crust and bubbly cheese.
  2. In a bowl, combine the 11.36 oz box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, and 3/4 cup cold water. Mix gently until just combined and the dough is slightly sticky. Avoid overmixing to keep the crust tender.
  3. Grease a pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread the dough evenly onto the greased pan, pressing it to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Aim for even thickness so it bakes uniformly.
  4. Brush the dough with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil and set the pan aside while you prepare the topping. The oil helps the crust brown and adds flavor.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup shredded cooked chicken with 1 cup Alfredo sauce and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
  6. Spread the chicken and Alfredo mixture evenly over the prepared biscuit crust, leaving the edges clear for a defined crust.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese over the top in an even layer.
  8. Bake on the center rack for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, tent lightly with foil for the final few minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This resting time helps the topping set for cleaner slices.

Tips, Storage & Variations

Tips

  • Use cold water for the dough to keep the biscuit texture light. Mix just until combined.
  • Press the dough evenly to prevent thin spots that brown faster than the rest.
  • If you want a crisper bottom, bake on a preheated pizza pan or a metal baking sheet.

Storage

  • Refrigerate leftover slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 12 minutes to refresh the crust and melt the cheese.

Freezing

  • To freeze, bake the pizza fully, cool completely, then wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat from frozen in a 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.

Variations using only the listed ingredients

  • Extra cheesy: Add more mozzarella or sprinkle extra parmesan on top before baking for an even cheesier finish.
  • Buttery finish: Brush the baked crust lightly with melted butter for added richness.
  • Heavier chicken filling: Stir a bit more Alfredo sauce into the chicken for a saucier topping.

FAQ

  1. How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
    Press the dough evenly and avoid overloading with sauce. Baking on a metal pan helps crisp the bottom.

  2. Can I use cold cooked chicken?
    Yes. Shredded cold chicken works fine; just ensure it is well coated with Alfredo sauce to warm through.

  3. Do I need to pre-bake the crust?
    No. This recipe bakes the assembled pizza directly for 20 to 25 minutes at 400°F.

  4. Can I make this gluten-free?
    The provided mix is not gluten-free. Use a gluten-free biscuit mix that matches the same volume if you need a substitute.

    Yes. Fully bake, cool, and wrap the pizza for freezing up to one month.

People Also Ask

  1. What is the best pan to use for this biscuit crust pizza?
    A greased pizza pan or a metal baking sheet works best for even browning.

  2. Can I use homemade Alfredo sauce instead of jarred?
    Yes, homemade Alfredo works well and can be used in the same amount.

  3. Should I cover the edges while baking?
    Only if the edges brown too fast. Lightly tent with foil if needed.

  4. How thick should I roll the biscuit dough?
    Aim for about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick for a balanced crust texture.

  5. Can I add extra garlic flavor?
    You can mix a touch more garlic powder into the chicken mixture, but keep the amount moderate to avoid overpowering the Alfredo.

    It will soften slightly but retains a tender, biscuit-like crumb. Reheating in the oven restores some crispness.

  7. Is this pizza suitable for feeding a crowd?
    Yes. The recipe scales well; double the ingredients and use an extra pan to serve more people.
