Step-by-step Instructions

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Spread the chicken and Alfredo mixture evenly over the prepared biscuit crust, leaving the edges clear for a defined crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese over the top in an even layer.
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.
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.
