# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a bowl, toss 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups 1% milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in 6 cloves roasted and mashed garlic, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. This sauce is key for your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
03 -
Place 1 (14-oz) pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread the prepared garlic-infused white sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust. This forms the delicious foundation for your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
04 -
Evenly distribute the diced cooked chicken over the white sauce. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Scatter 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion over the cheeses for a touch of sharpness.
05 -
Bake the pizza in the preheated 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Keep an eye on your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza to prevent overcooking.
06 -
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Serve your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza hot and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For an even deeper garlic flavor, you can roast extra garlic cloves ahead of time and store them in olive oil in the fridge.
02 -
Feel free to customize your pizza with other high-protein toppings like spinach, mushrooms, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added tang.
03 -
Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
