Ingredients You’ll Need :
- 11.36 oz Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (1 box, includes seasoning packet)
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for spreading the dough, use more as needed)
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
- 8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
- 1 tbsp Kinder’s Blackened Seasoning (or preferred seasoning blend, add more to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking the chicken)
- 8 oz cooked, crumbled turkey bacon
- 7.25 oz Alfredo sauce (about half of a 14.5 oz jar)
- 3 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese (divided, plus more if desired)
- dried parsley flakes (optional, for garnish)
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS :
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, cold water, and grated cheddar cheese until a soft dough forms.
- Rub olive oil on your hands, then press the dough evenly across the prepared pan. Reapply oil as needed and keep pressing until the dough reaches the edges.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes to give it a head start.
- While the crust bakes, season the chicken on both sides with blackened seasoning. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Rest for a few minutes, then cut into bite-size pieces.
- Melt the butter and stir in the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix. Brush this butter mixture over the partially baked crust.
- Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle on about 2 cups of mozzarella, then top with the chicken and crumbled turkey bacon.
- Add the remaining mozzarella (more if desired), then return the pan to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbling.
- Garnish with dried parsley if you like. Slice and serve warm.

HOW TO SERVE Chicken Alfredo Pizza on Cheddar Bay Biscuit Crust
Slice the pizza into 8 to 12 pieces depending on hunger and goals. For a balanced plate, serve one or two slices with a big green salad. Add fresh veggies to get extra fiber and vitamins. If you want to limit calories, enjoy one slice and a bowl of steamed vegetables.
Portion control tips:
- Pair one slice with a salad to keep the meal lower in calories and rich in fiber.
- For weight loss goals, have one slice and a large side of non-starchy vegetables.
- For a high protein meal, pair two smaller slices with a side of Greek yogurt-based dip or a cup of cottage cheese.
This pizza can be a good part of a balanced diet when you watch portion size and add vegetables.
STORAGE & FREEZING : Chicken Alfredo Pizza on Cheddar Bay Biscuit Crust
Leftovers store well in the fridge. Cool the pizza fully, then wrap tightly with foil or store in an airtight container. Eat within 3–4 days for best flavor.
To freeze:
- Bake the pizza fully and cool. Wrap the whole pan tightly with plastic and foil, or slice and wrap single portions.
- Freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and warm in a 350°F oven until hot, about 10–15 minutes. You can also reheat slices in an air fryer for a crisp edge.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Healthy side options:
- Large mixed green salad with lemon vinaigrette (adds fiber and vitamin C).
- Steamed broccoli or roasted Brussels sprouts for added fiber and nutrients.
- Fresh cucumber and tomato salad for a low calorie side.
For a balanced plate, add one of these healthy sides. A light green salad makes this meal feel fresh and helps with portion control. For more balanced dinners that also work for meal prep, try this one-pan honey butter garlic chicken and rice recipe.
VARIATIONS
- Healthier version: Use low-fat mozzarella and low-fat Alfredo sauce or make a light Alfredo with plain Greek yogurt and a bit of Parmesan. Use reduced-butter or skip the seasoned butter on top. Add lots of spinach or broccoli under the cheese to boost fiber. This lighter option lowers calories while keeping good taste.
- High-protein / low-carb version: Replace the biscuit crust with a cauliflower crust or a thin low-carb flatbread. Use extra grilled chicken, add white beans or chickpeas around the edges for more protein, and swap turkey bacon for lean turkey sausage. This change creates a high protein meal that fits lower-carb goals.
- Air fryer or oven-baked mini pizzas: Make small rounds of the biscuit dough and press into silicone muffin cups for mini pizzas. Bake in the air fryer at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, then add toppings and air fry 3–5 more minutes until cheese melts. This method works well for quick snacks and meal prep. For a full oven option, follow the standard steps and bake on a hot sheet for crisp edges.
