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 sauté 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).

  4. Sprinkle extra Cajun seasoning & Parmesan on top.

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

5. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Let cool slightly (the cheese will be molten hot!).

  • Serve with dipping sauces and enjoy while warm.
