A rich, garlicky white sauce forms the base of this cheesy chicken pizza, topped with tender pieces of cooked chicken and baked until golden and bubbling.
1 ball pizza dough (10–12 inch)
1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or sliced)
1½ cups shredded mozzarella
¼ cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
¾ cup milk
½ tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: spinach, mushrooms, caramelized onions
Preheat oven to 475°F with pizza stone or steel inside.
In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Stir in flour, then whisk in milk to form a sauce.
Add Parmesan, seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until thickened.
Stretch dough and transfer to parchment or pan.
Spread white sauce over dough. Add mozzarella, chicken, and optional toppings.
Bake 10–13 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Garnish with herbs and serve hot.
Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
Customize with bacon, spinach, or mushrooms.
Leftovers reheat well in toaster oven.
