Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 cloves roasted garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or lightly grease and sprinkle with cornmeal.
2. Make White Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced roasted garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook an additional minute until well-blended.
3. Add Milk and Half-and-Half
Gradually whisk in the skim milk and half-and-half, stirring constantly. Add black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
4. Prepare Pizza
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the white sauce evenly over the dough.
5. Add Toppings
Sprinkle the shredded chicken and diced red onion over the white sauce. Top with Mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Finish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, dried oregano, and chopped parsley. Slice and serve immediately.
