# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top off 1 whole head garlic, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until very soft. This is the foundation for your Savory Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza | High Protein.
02 -
While garlic roasts, unroll 1 (14-16 oz) pre-made pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface or parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and gently stretch to your desired pizza shape.
03 -
Once roasted, squeeze the soft garlic cloves into a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Mash well with a fork until smooth for your Savory Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza | High Protein base.
04 -
Spread the roasted garlic sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Distribute 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded or diced, over the sauce.
05 -
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese over the chicken layer. Ensure even coverage for a perfectly cheesy Savory Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza | High Protein.
06 -
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated 400°F oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
07 -
Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For a quicker prep, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken and shred it. This saves time on cooking the chicken breast from scratch.
02 -
Allow your pizza dough to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before stretching. This makes it much more pliable and easier to work with.
03 -
When roasting garlic, ensure it's soft and caramelized, not burnt. Burnt garlic will impart a bitter flavor to your delicious white sauce.
04 -
Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes for best results.
