Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
1 pre-made pizza dough, 12–14 inches
2–3 cloves roasted garlic, mashed, or 1 tablespoon roasted garlic paste
1/2 cup heavy cream or Alfredo sauce
1 cup cooked chicken, diced or shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting garlic, if using fresh cloves)
1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)
2 tablespoons sliced red onion (optional)
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

If roasting garlic, wrap the cloves in foil with the olive oil and roast at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes until soft and golden. Mash into a paste.

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a baking tray or preheated stone.

In a small bowl, mix the roasted garlic with the heavy cream or Alfredo sauce. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top, followed by any optional toppings you like.

Finish by sprinkling the oregano or Italian seasoning over the pizza.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes one 12–14 inch pizza, serving 3–4 people.

Preparation time is about 10 minutes. Baking time is 12–15 minutes. Total time is approximately 25 minutes.

Variations

For a lighter version, replace the heavy cream with a light cream or a homemade white sauce made with milk.

Add extra vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for more color and texture.

Swap mozzarella for a blend of mozzarella and provolone for a richer cheese flavor.

Add a pinch of chili flakes if you enjoy a gentle heat.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, warm slices in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes until heated through. A skillet over medium heat also works well for keeping the crust crisp.
