Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Pizza:

    • 1 pound pizza dough – Homemade or store-bought dough for the base.
    • 1 Tablespoon butter – For sautéing the garlic and making the sauce.
    • 8 cloves roasted garlic, minced – Rich, sweet roasted garlic flavor.
    • 2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour – To thicken the sauce.
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper – For seasoning.
    • 1/2 cup skim milk – For a lighter white sauce.
    • 1/4 cup half and half – Adds creaminess to the sauce.
    • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese – For richness and depth in the sauce.
    • 1 1/2 cup boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded – A lean protein topping.
    • 1/4 cup red onion, diced – Adds a mild sweetness and crunch.
    • 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese – For the gooey, melty cheese topping.
    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped – For a fresh, aromatic touch.
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano – A classic pizza seasoning.
    • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped – For garnish and a touch of freshness.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat liner or grease it lightly, then sprinkle with cornmeal.
  • Make the sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan. Sauté the minced roasted garlic for 1 minute. Add the flour and stir until well blended. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the liquids: Slowly whisk in the skim milk and half-and-half. Stir in the black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
  • Prepare the pizza base: Spread the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the white garlic sauce over the dough.
  • Add the toppings: Layer the shredded chicken, diced red onions, and mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
  • Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 17 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, oregano, and parsley.
  • Serve: Cut into slices and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken with rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
  • You can use any white cheese, such as provolone or gouda, for variety.
