Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your air fryer or oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, create a slurry by mixing the all-purpose flour with water until smooth. Gradually stir this into the simmering Alfredo sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  4. On a clean surface, lay out your flatbreads or pita breads. Distribute approximately 3 tablespoons of the creamy Alfredo sauce onto each pita, spreading it evenly.
  5. Top each sauced pita with cooked chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, torn baby spinach leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. For oven, place pizzas on greased baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crispy.
  7. For air fryer, place one pizza on the tray and air fry at 350°F for 5-6 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately with any leftover Alfredo sauce for dipping.
