Learn how to make delicious Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough or homemade dough
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out the ricotta for goat cheese or add some sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy twist. This flexibility is what makes cooking such a delightful dance of flavors and creativity.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice off the top of the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
  3. Meanwhile, roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. I love involving my kids here; they enjoy the tactile experience of rolling and stretching the dough.
  4. Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste.
  5. Spread the roasted garlic paste over the pizza dough, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
  6. Layer on the ricotta cheese, followed by the shredded mozzarella and parmesan. I remember my grandmother’s advice: always layer cheeses for depth of flavor!
  7. Add the cooked chicken and fresh spinach leaves evenly across the pizza.
  8. Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven, let it cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

This pizza is more than just a meal; it’s a reminder of the joy found in simplicity and the magic created when family comes together.
