Low Carb Garlic Chicken Alfredo Waffle Pizza – Say it with me!!
Yes, you read that correctly. Low Carb Garlic Chicken Alfredo Waffle Pizza … Waffle pizza. I have been doing some fun experimenting with waffles over the last handful of months. If you own my newest cookbook – The Primal Low Carb Kitchen, then you have probably tried the Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches… Black forest ham, sharp cheddar cheese, avocado and an ooey, gooey egg, sandwiched between two low carb and gluten free waffle halves. Yesterday was the first regular season game for my Seahawks. It was a morning game and I wanted to make us some low carb style game day breakfast eats. Pizza has come up A LOT in this house over the last week. Between myself, Jon and the kids, we have probably all mentioned it at least 10 times. I was initially going to make us savory waffles with cheese, bacon and eggs, but then pizza came up again! I already had the batter made, and that is when the idea hit me… Genius! Use the batter to make a waffle pizza crust.. Off to the store for toppings we went. My all time favorite pizza is garlic chicken with bacon and red onions. I used my Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce Recipe as the base. The end result was utterly delicious. It makes 4 personal sized pizzas, but honestly you could probably serve 8 people with these. They are very rich and filling.

This gives me the motivation to finally get a waffle iron. Looks delicious!!
These look great!!! What type of waffle iron do you have? Would you recommend it? I am looking at them, but everyone I talk to that has one does not use it.
So maybe ask them if you can buy their rarely/unused waffle iron on the cheap. That way you get a deal because they’re not using it. Plus they make a few dollars, and they clear space in their kitchen. If they’re friends or family, they may just give it to you to be nice and make space.
Hi Mike,
Great idea. But I still have the same issue. How do I know the one I am getting from them is any good? I am thinking of just buying one and if it doesn’t work out I could take it back to the store. Do you have one? Would you recommend the brand you have?
Thanks
What brand or recipe for the waffle itself? Thanks
The waffle recipe is right there in the post
Just made this tonight. It’s amazing. The waffle makes the best low carb pizza I’ve had this far. Thanks for sharing!
Yay! So happy you enjoyed it. It has quickly become a favorite in our house also.
Do you think the waffle recipe would work with less eggs? I don’t really like the taste of them, so I’d like to use as few as possible….thanks!!
Is the cheese required for the waffles to turn out correctly? I absolutely love this idea, but have to adapt for my son’s dairy allergy.
I have never tried it without cheese. If you try it, let me know how it turns out.
I was very interested to see such well researched and tested recipes. I have to avoid carbs due to a genetic illness (not celiac disease or diabetes) so I am looking for a whole new way of eating that friends and family can also enjoy.
Hi! I’ve weened myself off pizza but I’m excited to try this. Could I freeze the waffles? Being single, I get tired of sitting with my calculator trying to cut low carb family sized recipes in half! Thank you!
Yes, you absolutely can. They reheat very well. But I recommend reheating them in the oven or toaster.
