Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 cloves roasted garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • ¼ cup half and half
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1½ cups boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced
  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat or greasing it lightly, then sprinkle with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced roasted garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute, blending well. Gradually whisk in the skim milk and half-and-half, then mix in the black pepper.
  4. Let it cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Spread the white garlic sauce evenly over the dough.
  7. Top the sauce with the shredded chicken, diced red onion, and mozzarella cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
  8. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme, dried oregano, and fresh parsley. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use roasted garlic for deeper, sweeter flavor than fresh garlic. Cook chicken completely before shredding and adding to pizza.
  • Stir white sauce continuously to prevent lumps. Remove sauce from heat before adding Parmesan to prevent breaking.
  • Don’t overload with toppings to ensure even cooking. Let pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
