🔥 How to Make It

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!
