Ingredients
For the Pizza:
- 1 lb pizza dough – Store-bought or homemade
- 1 tbsp butter
- 8 cloves roasted garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup skim milk
- ¼ cup half-and-half
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1½ cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional Add-ins:
- Red pepper flakes for spice
- Spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra veggies
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza stone and dust with cornmeal for a crispy bottom crust.
2. Make the Garlic White Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced roasted garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for another minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in skim milk and half-and-half, then season with black pepper. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan cheese.
3. Assemble the Pizza
Roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Spread the garlic sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Top with shredded chicken, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
5. Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh thyme, oregano, and chopped parsley. Slice and serve immediately while hot!
