# Instructions:
01 -
In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups skim milk until thickened. Stir in 1 whole head roasted and mashed garlic, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste.
02 -
Spread the creamy roasted garlic sauce evenly over the prepared pizza crust, leaving a small border. Distribute 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded, over the sauce. This forms the hearty foundation of your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
03 -
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken. Evenly scatter 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion across the pizza. These toppings add layers of flavor and texture.
04 -
Carefully transfer the assembled High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent overbrowning.
05 -
Remove the High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza from the oven. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 servings.
# Notes:
01 -
For convenience, roast the whole head of garlic ahead of time and store it in the fridge. This significantly cuts down on your prep time.
02 -
Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
03 -
Feel free to customize your pizza with other high-protein toppings like spinach, mushrooms, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor.
04 -
Ensure your cooked chicken breast is well-shredded for even distribution and easier slicing of the pizza.
