# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the tops off 2 whole heads garlic, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Wrap in foil, then roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and fragrant. This is a key flavor for your Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein.
02 -
While garlic roasts, dice 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken with 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp milk, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. This creamy base is essential for your Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein.
04 -
Increase oven temperature to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out 1 lb store-bought pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
05 -
Squeeze the softened roasted garlic cloves from their skins and mash them. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Top with the cooked chicken, mashed roasted garlic, and 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese. Optionally, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes.
06 -
Bake the Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Keep a close eye on it to prevent over-browning, as oven temperatures can vary.
07 -
Carefully remove the Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza: High Protein from the oven. Garnish generously with fresh basil leaves. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into 6 servings and enjoying hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For an even quicker prep, roast the garlic and cook the chicken a day in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator until ready to assemble your pizza.
02 -
Allow your store-bought pizza dough to come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before stretching. This makes it much more pliable and easier to work with.
03 -
Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a preheated oven or air fryer for best results.
04 -
Feel free to customize your pizza! Add a handful of fresh spinach, some sun-dried tomatoes, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flavor and texture.
