Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1-2 teaspoons cornmeal (for sprinkling)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt (to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded, cooked chicken breasts
  • 1/2 red onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 2/3 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 500˚F with a pizza stone on the center rack, if using. Sprinkle cornmeal over a baker's peel or parchment.
  • Roll pizza dough into a 14 inch circle, place on prepared baker's peel, and brush the edge with olive oil.
  • Add butter to a small saucepan and melt over medium heat.
  • Once melted, add the garlic and cook until just fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the flour and pepper and cook until golden. Continue whisking and slowly pour in the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup sauce over prepared pizza dough, enough for a thin layer.
  • Sprinkle chicken and onions over the pizza. Cover with mozzarella.
  • Transfer the pizza to pizza stone using baker's peel or parchment. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool about 5 minutes before topping with fresh herbs and slicing. Serve with remaining white sauce.
