I love this recipe because it combines everything I enjoy about pizza and creamy pasta into one fun, pull-apart dish. The garlic butter adds so much flavor, the alfredo sauce keeps the rolls soft and creamy, and the cheese melts into every swirl. I also like how easy they are to serve for parties, game nights, or casual dinners.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 lb pizza dough 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded 1 cup alfredo sauce 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp butter, melted 1 tsp Italian seasoning Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 375°F and greasing a baking dish. On a lightly floured surface, I roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle.
In a small bowl, I mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. I brush this mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
I spread the alfredo sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. I sprinkle the shredded chicken evenly over the sauce, followed by the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. I season lightly with salt and pepper.
Starting from one long side, I roll the dough tightly into a log. I slice it into 1-inch pieces and place them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
I bake the pizza rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, until they’re golden on top and the cheese is melted and bubbly. I let them cool slightly before serving.
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes about 10 to 12 pizza rolls, depending on how thick I slice them. Prep time takes around 15 minutes, baking time is about 25 to 30 minutes, and total time comes out to roughly 40 to 45 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor. When I want a little heat, I sprinkle in red pepper flakes. I also like using rotisserie chicken to save time or swapping mozzarella for a blend of Italian cheeses.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm them in the oven or air fryer so they stay crispy on the outside and gooey inside.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
I can assemble the rolls ahead and refrigerate them, then bake just before serving.
Can I use store-bought dough?
I often do, and it works perfectly for this recipe.
What kind of alfredo sauce works best?
I use either homemade or a good-quality jarred sauce, depending on how much time I have.
Can I freeze these pizza rolls?
I can freeze them baked or unbaked, then reheat or bake straight from frozen with extra time.
What should I serve with these?
I like serving them with a simple salad or marinara sauce for dipping.
Conclusion
These garlic butter chicken alfredo pizza rolls are a recipe I love when I want something indulgent, cheesy, and comforting. The soft dough, creamy filling, and garlicky flavor make them hard to resist. They’re easy to make, fun to eat, and always disappear fast once they hit the table.
These pizza rolls are loaded with shredded chicken, creamy alfredo sauce, melty cheese, and a buttery garlic herb glaze. The ultimate comfort food in every bite!
