Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pound pizza dough
White Garlic Sauce
- 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
Toppings
- 1 ½ 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat or greasing lightly, then sprinkle with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
- Make the White Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced roasted garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute, blending well. Gradually whisk in skim milk and half-and-half, then add black pepper. Cook while stirring continuously for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the white garlic sauce over the dough.
- Assemble the Pizza: Top the sauce with shredded chicken, diced red onion, and mozzarella cheese, distributing them evenly across the pizza.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, sprinkle fresh thyme, dried oregano, and fresh parsley over the pizza. Slice and enjoy while hot.
Notes
- Serve this pizza immediately for best flavor and texture, paired with a fresh salad or beverage.
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispness.
- Customize by adding vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce before baking to introduce a spicy kick.
- For a vegan version, replace chicken with plant-based protein or extra veggies and use vegan cheese alternatives.
- Try gluten-free or cauliflower crust options for different dietary needs or lighter pizzas.
