📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic Bread Crust:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  1. Make the garlic butter:
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and chopped parsley.
  1. Prepare the bread:
  • Slice the French baguette or Italian loaf in half lengthwise, creating two long pieces. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  1. Brush with garlic butter:
  • Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the bread.
  1. Bake the bread:
  • Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the bread is slightly crisp.

2. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

  1. Cook the garlic:
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  1. Add the cream and cheese:
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

  1. Spread the Alfredo sauce:
  • Remove the garlic bread from the oven and spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over each half.
  1. Add the toppings:
  • Top the sauce with shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and any optional toppings like red onion or spinach.
  1. Season:
  • Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the toppings for extra flavor.

4. Bake the Pizza:

  1. Bake:
  • Return the assembled pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve:

  1. Slice and enjoy:
  • Remove the pizzas from the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve.
