  • 1/2 cup skim or 1% milk
  • 1/4 cup half & half
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup red onion chopped
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 tsp dried/ground thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Method
 

  1. 1. Start with your chicken breasts. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut the chicken in half and sprinkle with garlic salt. Wrap the garlic cloves in foil, making sure they’re raised enough to avoid any chicken juices. Place them on the baking sheet alongside the chicken and bake until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
  2. 2. While the chicken and garlic are baking, prepare your pizza crust. Preheat another oven to 400 degrees. Spray your pizza baking sheet with cooking spray and spread out the Pillsbury pizza dough to your desired thickness. Bake for about 5 minutes and then remove from the oven.
  3. 3. Next, let's work on the sauce. In a medium saucepan, add the butter and roasted garlic over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Then, stir in the milk and half & half, whisking everything together.
  4. 4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and sift in the all-purpose flour while whisking to prevent lumps. Add the ground black pepper, thyme, oregano, and garlic salt. Whisk well until everything is combined, then turn off the heat and stir in the fresh grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. 5. Once the sauce is ready, it's time to assemble. Spoon the creamy sauce onto the half-baked pizza crust, spreading it evenly. Top with the chopped chicken, ensuring every slice will have some.
  6. 6. Now for the cheese! Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the entire pizza. Don't hold back; you want it cheesy!
  7. 7. Add the chopped red onion evenly across the top of the cheese. Finally, sprinkle a teaspoon or more of dried parsley on top to finish it off.
  8. 8. Place the assembled pizza back in the oven for an additional 5 to 6 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1 to 3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
  9. 9. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven, and let it cool slightly. Slice into portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious homemade Roasted Garlic Chicken White Sauce Pizza!

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the assembled pizza before baking. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Bake from frozen, adding a bit of extra time.
  • Pairing: This pizza pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal.
  • Adjust spice levels: If you prefer a bit more heat, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Experiment with cheeses: While mozzarella is a classic choice, feel free to swap in other cheeses like gouda or provolone for a different flavor profile.
