Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preference. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mince the 3 cloves of garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown.
Add the butter to the saucepan and allow it to melt. Stir in the all-purpose flour, cooking for 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired. Remove the sauce from the heat.
Place the rolled-out dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and spread the garlic parmesan sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Scatter the cooked chicken breast and broccoli florets over the pizza.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and, if desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Carefully transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
