Preparing the Dough and Filling

Dough Preparation

First, let’s get our foundation ready for these delicious Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent any sticking and make cleanup a breeze. Now, carefully unroll the can of Pillsbury classic pizza crust onto a lightly floured surface. We want to be gentle here to avoid deflating it too much. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 equal squares. These squares will form the base of our crazy puffs. Place each square onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.

Chicken Alfredo Filling Assembly

Now for the star of the show – the rich and creamy chicken alfredo filling! In a large skillet, melt 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, add the 6 minced cloves of garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 to 2 minutes until it’s fragrant, being careful not to let it burn, as burnt garlic can turn bitter. Next, pour in the 2 1/2 cups of heavy cream. Stir gently and bring the cream to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to thicken slightly. This is where the magic happens, creating that luxurious sauce base.

Now, stir in the 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese until it’s fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the 2 cups of diced rotisserie chicken to the skillet. Toss the chicken in the sauce to coat it evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste. For a little kick, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes. Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if needed. You want it to be flavorful and well-balanced. Finally, fold in the 8 strrum extract of crumbled crispy cooked beef baconbbeef bacon The bacon adds a wonderful salty and smoky crunch to the alfredo mixture.

Assembling and Baking the Crazy Puffs

Filling the Dough Squares

With our delicious filling ready, it’s time to bring our crazy puffs to life. Take about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken alfredo filling and place it in the center of each of the pizza crust squares. Don’t overfill them, or the filling might spill out during baking. We want just enough to get a good burst of flavor in every bite.

Sealing the Puffs

Now, let’s seal these flavor bombs! Gently bring the four corners of each pizza crust square together and pinch them firmly at the top to create a little pouch. You can also press the seams together with a fork to ensure a good seal. This is crucial to keep all that wonderful filling inside. Once senon-alcoholic aled, you can gently flatten the tops slightly if you prefer, but make sure not to break the seal.

Baking to Golden Perfection

Place the baking sheet back into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pizza crust is golden brown and puffed up beautifully. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to ensure they don’t get too dark. The aroma filling your kitchen will be absolutely incredible!

Preparing the Garlic Parmesan Drizzle

Melting the Butter and Sautéing Garlic

While the crazy puffs are baking, let’s prepare a simple yet incredibly flavorful garlic parmesan drizzle that will take them to the next level. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the 3 minced cloves of garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, just until it becomes fragrant. Again, be very mindful not to burn the garlic. We want a gentle, aromatic infusion of garlic flavor.

Finishing the Drizzle

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of fresh minced parsley and the 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese. The residual heat from the butter and pan will be enough to melt the parmesan and create a luscious, herby drizzle. If you like a little extra spice, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes here as well.

Drizzling and Serving

Once the chicken alfredo crazy puffs are out of the oven and golden brown, let them cool for just a minute or two on the baking sheet. Then, carefully transfer them to a serving platter. Generously drizzle the warm garlic parmesan mixture over the top of each puff. The heat from the puffs will help the drizzle meld perfectly. Serve immediately and enjoy these irresistible, homemade Chicken Alfredo Little Caesars Crazy Puffs!
