Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Creole seasoning
- 1 package pizza dough
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Chicken: Rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken works great here.
- Creole Seasoning: Use store-bought or homemade—adjust the spice to your liking.
- Dough Options: Pre-made pizza dough is convenient, but homemade or crescent roll dough works too.
- Cheese Lovers: Add a handful of pepper jack or provolone for extra ooey-gooey goodness.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, Creole seasoning, mozzarella, and Parmesan until creamy and well blended.
- Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle.
- Add Filling: Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough.
- Form Rolls: Starting from one long end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange and Bake: Place rolls flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle with more Creole seasoning if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm!
Tips for Success
- Tight Roll: Keep the dough roll snug so the filling doesn’t spill out during baking.
- Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let the rolls set for 2–3 minutes before digging in for easier handling.
- Double the Batch: These go fast—make extras and freeze half for future cravings.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are great on their own but pair beautifully with:
- A side of ranch or spicy remoulade for dipping
- A crisp green salad
- Sheet Pan Quesadillas for party variety
- Cajun Chicken Sausage Gumbo for a full Creole feast
Storage & Reheating
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or microwave in 30-second bursts.
