The Easiest Cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza
An easy and creative recipe that transforms the classic flavors of Chicken Cordon Bleu into a delicious pizza. This dish uses a convenient refrigerated pizza crust as a base, which is par-baked and then spread with a creamy Alfredo sauce instead of traditional tomato sauce. The pizza is generously topped with the signature Cordon Bleu ingredients: shredded Swiss cheese, cubed fully cooked ham, and pieces of breaded chicken nuggets, along with mozzarella cheese. The finished pizza is baked until the crust is golden and the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Ingredients
- 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
- 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
- 10 breaded chicken nuggets, thawed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Unroll and press the pizza dough onto the bottom of the pan.
- Par-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are light brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Spread it with the Alfredo sauce and sprinkle with garlic salt.
- Top the sauce with the Swiss cheese, cubed ham, chicken nugget pieces, and finally, the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This is a very quick and easy meal, using several store-bought shortcuts like refrigerated pizza crust, jarred Alfredo sauce, and pre-cooked ham and chicken nuggets.
- Par-baking the crust before adding the wet toppings is a key step to ensure it doesn’t get soggy.
- Alfredo sauce is used in place of a traditional red pizza sauce to mimic the creamy sauce sometimes served with Chicken Cordon Bleu.
