Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (diced or shredded) cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups (shredded) mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 small (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 medium (diced) Roma tomato
- 1 cup (roughly chopped) spinach
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add butter to the pan and melt completely. Sprinkle flour into the mixture and whisk constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly add milk to the saucepan, whisking continually to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Reduce heat to low and stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer your pizza dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
Spread the garlic cream sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the diced chicken, sliced red onion, diced tomato, and chopped spinach on the pizza.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza 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 slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Garlic Chicken Pizza!
