# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top off 1 whole head garlic, drizzle with a little olive oil, and wrap in foil. Toss 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place chicken and garlic on a baking sheet. For your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza, ensure chicken is in a single layer.
02 -
Roast the chicken and garlic for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and garlic is tender. Remove from oven. Once cool enough to handle, shred or dice the chicken. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from their skins and mash into a paste.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup 2% milk, and the mashed roasted garlic. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. This will be the flavorful base for your High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
04 -
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out 1 lb store-bought pizza dough to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer the dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet brushed with 1 tbsp olive oil.
05 -
Spread the roasted garlic ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Distribute the shredded chicken over the sauce, then sprinkle with 1.5 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
06 -
Bake the High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza in the preheated 400°F oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
07 -
Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) for a touch of heat. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy chicken, ensure your baking sheet isn't overcrowded during roasting.
02 -
Leftover High Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer.
03 -
Feel free to swap part-skim mozzarella for whole milk mozzarella for a richer, gooier cheese pull, or add a pinch of dried thyme to the ricotta mixture.
