# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the top off 1 whole head of garlic, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until the cloves are golden and soft. Squeeze out the roasted cloves and set aside. This is the flavor backbone of your Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein & Creamy.
02 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Whisk in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup heavy cream, stirring constantly. Mash in the roasted garlic cloves, then stir in 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste until thick and creamy.
03 -
Toss 3/4 lb thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until fully cooked through. Slice into bite-sized strips and set aside. This high-protein layer is what makes the Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein & Creamy so satisfying.
04 -
Increase oven temperature to 475°F and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to preheat. Stretch 1 lb pizza dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Brush the entire surface with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then dust evenly with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp dried oregano for a flavorful, crispy crust.
05 -
Spread the roasted garlic white sauce evenly over the prepared dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dot 1/2 cup ricotta cheese across the surface in spoonfuls, then scatter the cooked chicken strips evenly. Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese and sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for a gentle kick throughout your Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein & Creamy.
06 -
Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated baking sheet or stone. Bake at 475°F for 12–15 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the mozzarella is bubbly with lightly charred spots. Rotate the pizza halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and a perfectly crispy base on your Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein & Creamy.
07 -
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 3–4 minutes before slicing — this keeps the toppings from sliding. Scatter 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves over the top just before serving. For the best Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein & Creamy experience, slice into 8 pieces and serve immediately while the cheese is still gloriously melty.
# Notes:
01 -
💡 Make-Ahead Tip: The roasted garlic white sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of milk to restore its creamy consistency before spreading on the dough.
02 -
🔄 Substitution Tip: For a lighter version, swap the heavy cream for additional whole milk and use part-skim mozzarella. Rotisserie chicken works beautifully in place of freshly cooked chicken breast, saving you prep time without sacrificing protein.
03 -
🧊 Storage Advice: Leftover pizza slices keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes to restore the crispy crust — avoid the microwave, which makes the crust soggy.
04 -
🍽️ Serving Tip: Pair this pizza with a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon juice and olive oil to balance the richness of the creamy white sauce. A light, crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc also complements the roasted garlic flavors beautifully.
