Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza
Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves roasted garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Let them cool slightly, then shred or dice the chicken.
Prepare the Pizza Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Make the White Sauce:
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced roasted garlic until well combined.
Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the white sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the roasted chicken pieces evenly over the cheese.
Bake the Pizza:
Transfer the pizza to a preheated oven and bake at 450°F (230°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes if desired.
Slice and serve hot.
