- 8 cloves roasted garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat liner or lightly grease and sprinkle with cornmeal.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced roasted garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

- Slowly whisk in skim milk and half and half. Add black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Spread the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the white sauce evenly over the dough.
- Top with shredded chicken, diced red onion, and Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Sprinkle with fresh thyme, dried oregano, and parsley. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- To roast garlic at home, wrap cloves in foil with olive oil and bake at 400°F for 30-40 minutes until golden and soft.
- Substitute chicken with mushrooms or spinach for a vegetarian option.
- For a crispy crust, bake on a preheated pizza stone.
