| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pizza dough | 1 ball | Homemade or store-bought |
| Butter | 2 tbsp | For the sauce base |
| Roasted garlic (8–10 cloves) | 1 whole head | Soft and caramelized |
| All-purpose flour | 2 tbsp | Thickens the white sauce |
| Skim milk | 1 cup | Adds body to the sauce |
| Half and half | ½ cup | For added creaminess |
| Ground black pepper | ½ tsp | For seasoning |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | ⅓ cup | Stirred into the sauce |
| Cooked, shredded chicken | 1½ cups | Use any pre-cooked chicken |
| Finely diced red onion | ¼ cup | Adds a subtle crunch and flavor |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 1½ cups | For that perfect melty top |

| Chopped fresh parsley | 1 tbsp | For a pop of freshness |
Step 1: Get Your Oven Ready
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or lightly grease it. Sprinkle with cornmeal for added crunch under the crust.
Step 2: Create the Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the roasted garlic and sauté for about a minute. Add flour, whisking continuously for another minute to form a roux.
Step 3: Thicken the Sauce
Slowly add the milk and half and half, whisking to prevent lumps. Add black pepper and simmer until the sauce thickens — about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Build the Pizza
Roll your dough into a 12-inch round and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the garlic cream sauce evenly across the surface. Layer with shredded chicken, diced onion, and mozzarella cheese.
Step 5: Bake It Up
Place in the oven and bake for around 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with thyme, oregano, and parsley. Slice and enjoy while it’s hot and bubbly!
