Cajun Blackened Chicken Alfredo Pizza Rolls: A Spicy, Creamy Twist on a Classic Snack


 

1. Prepare the Blackened Chicken

  1. Season the chicken – Coat chicken evenly with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

  2. Sear to perfection – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until blackened and fully cooked.

  3. Rest & shred – Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then dice or shred into small pieces.

2. Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sautΓ© until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

  2. Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly.

  3. Add Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth. Season with salt & pepper.

  4. Remove from heat and let it thicken slightly.

3. Assemble the Pizza Rolls

  1. Roll out the dough – On a floured surface, stretch pizza dough into a large rectangle (~12x16 inches).

  2. Layer the fillings –

    • Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough.

    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella.

    • Add blackened chicken and green onions.

  3. Roll it up – Tightly roll the dough lengthwise (like a cinnamon roll).

  4. Slice into rolls – Cut into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.

4. Bake to Golden Perfection

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.

  3. Brush with egg wash (optional for extra crispiness).

  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

5. Serve & Enjoy!
