Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the cooked chicken breast generously with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and pan-sear the chicken until it develops a slight char to lock in flavor. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Mix Filling Ingredients: Chop or shred the blackened chicken finely. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with Alfredo sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese, mixing well until the filling is evenly coated and cheesy.
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12×8 inches and about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even baking and easy rolling.
Assemble the Pizza Rolls: Spread the Cajun chicken Alfredo mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, then pinch the edges to seal the filling inside. Slice the log into 1-2 inch thick rolls.
Bake to Perfection: Place the rolls cut side up on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter mixed with minced garlic for extra flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and crispy on top.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is well-seasoned and pan-seared properly to get that authentic blackened flavor.
You can substitute store-bought pizza dough for convenience.
Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor.
Brush tops with garlic butter for extra aroma and richness, but this is optional.
Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth with hot filling.
