Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approx. 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza dough to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Spread the prepared white sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Distribute the cooked shredded chicken evenly across the pizza. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle fresh parsley and thyme leaves over the pizza for an herby finish.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with 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 bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
