If you’re in the mood to indulge in a scrumptious homemade pizza with a gourmet twist, the Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza is a must-try recipe that will impress your taste buds and your dinner guests alike. This pizza blends the aromatic flavor of roasted garlic with creamy white sauce, tender chicken, and a delightful mix of cheeses, all baked to perfection. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pizza dough – The base of your pizza; you can either make it from scratch or use a store-bought one for convenience.
  • 1 tablespoon butter – For cooking the garlic and adding richness to the sauce.
  • 8 cloves roasted garlic, minced – This is the star of the show, providing a deep, caramelized flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour – Helps thicken the sauce to the perfect consistency.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper – Adds a slight kick.
  • ½ cup skim milk and ¼ cup half and half – These combine to create a creamy sauce.
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese – Brings a salty, umami flavor to the sauce.
  • 1 ½ cups boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded – Adds protein and texture.
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced – Gives a slight sharpness and color.
  • ¾ cup Mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully for that perfect cheese pull.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped; ½ teaspoon dried oregano; 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped – These herbs infuse the pizza with fresh, aromatic flavors.

Directions:

  1. Preheat and Prep: Start by heating your oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone mat or a light greasing and sprinkle of cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced roasted garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and half-and-half, add black pepper, and stir continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes), then remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared sheet. Spread the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the surface. Arrange the shredded chicken and diced red onion on top, and sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme, dried oregano, and fresh parsley. Cut into slices and serve hot.
