Ingredients

1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons butter

1 whole head roasted garlic (about 810 cloves)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup skim milk

½ cup half and half

½ teaspoon black pepper

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1½ cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

¼ cup red onion, finely diced

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

½ teaspoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or lightly grease and sprinkle with cornmeal.

Make the white 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 create a roux.

Slowly pour in milk and half and half while whisking constantly. Add black pepper and simmer until thickened (about 3 minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth and creamy.

Assemble pizza: Roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place on prepared sheet. Spread the white sauce evenly over the dough.

Top with shredded chicken, diced red onion, and mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 17–20 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.

Finish: Remove from oven and sprinkle with thyme, oregano, and parsley. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken to save time.

Roast garlic ahead of time for quick prep.

Avoid overloading toppings to keep the crust crisp.

Optional: Add red pepper flakes for heat or substitute cheeses like gouda or fontina for variation.
