Ingredients

Pizza Dough:

  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Roasted Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 whole head of roasted garlic (about 810 cloves)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Toppings:

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or lightly grease and sprinkle with cornmeal.
  2. Make the Roasted Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in roasted garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add flour and whisk for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly pour in skim milk and half and half, whisking constantly. Add black pepper. Simmer and stir until thickened (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth.
  3. Prepare the Pizza: Roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place on prepared baking sheet. Spread white sauce over the dough. Top with shredded chicken, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake the Pizza: Bake for 17 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with thyme, oregano, and parsley. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Roast garlic ahead for easy sauce prep.
  • Do not overload toppings to keep crust crisp.
  • Optional: Add red pepper flakes for spice or swap in cheeses like fontina or gouda.
