Garlic Chicken White Pizza (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 unbaked pizza crust (preferably whole wheat)
→ Toppings
02 -
80g part skim ricotta cheese
03 -
5 cloves garlic (2 minced, 3 thinly sliced)
04 -
120g cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
05 -
60g high-quality parmesan cheese, freshly grated
06 -
180g mozzarella cheese, grated or torn
07 -
5-6 large fresh basil leaves
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat oven to 260°C (500°F). Place a pizza stone in the cold oven to preheat thoroughly.
02 -
Finely mince 2 cloves of garlic and thinly slice the remaining 3 cloves. Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
03 -
Stretch or roll dough into a thin circle on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, creating slightly thicker edges for the crust.
04 -
Combine ricotta and minced garlic in a small bowl. Dollop the mixture over the crust and spread roughly. Complete coverage isn't necessary.
05 -
Sprinkle half of the parmesan and mozzarella over the ricotta layer. Distribute chicken pieces and sliced garlic evenly, then add remaining cheeses. Place basil leaves on top.
06 -
Carefully remove the hot pizza stone from oven and slide the parchment or mat with pizza onto the stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
07 -
Remove from oven, slice into wedges and serve immediately.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Either fresh whole milk mozzarella (the kind that comes in a ball) or part skim mozzarella (from a block or bag) works well for this recipe.
02 -
If you don't have a pizza stone, use a sturdy baking sheet instead.
03 -
This pizza can also be grilled using the same instructions, pizza stone and all.
04 -
For uncooked chicken, either bake a breast at 190°C (375°F) covered until cooked through, pan-sear it in a skillet with a lid, or grill it if you're planning to grill the pizza.
