I love pizza! But who doesn’t, right! I have my favorites and I’ve always loved pizza with a white garlic sauce, yum!
But….. I am not a huge fan of making homemade pizza dough. I’ve tried a ton of recipes but none were just right. Or maybe I’m just really turned off to making anything that requires letting a dough rise. I don’t know, dough is just not really my thing.
But then I came across a recipe over at Dinners, Dishes & Desserts for a Roasted Garlic, Chicken, & White Herb Pizza that she made for her #SundaySupper and I wanted to try it so bad! I ended up getting a Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust in the refrigerated section of the store and was crossing my fingers that it would turn out good. I was so happy when we sat down to eat and it was delicious! Pizza crust and all!
With the combination of parmesan cheese, milk, cream, herbs, spices & onions this pizza was to die for! But, I am pregnant and craving pizza (and I think Joe is having sympathy cravings too) so you’ll just have to try this Roasted Garlic Chicken White Sauce Pizza for yourself and let me know what you think.
* One note… Joe sprinkled his slices with Cilantro and it gave it a nice flavor too! He wanted me to make sure he mentioned that 😉
Roasted Garlic Chicken White Sauce Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cooked, chopped & sprinkled w/ garlic salt
- 1 container refrigerated Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 garlic cloves roasted & minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup skim or 1% milk
- 1/4 cup half & half
- 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion chopped
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried/ground thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Chicken & Garlic Directions
- You can cook your chicken and garlic in the oven at the same time. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut your chicken breasts in half, place on the baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt. Rip off a large sheet of foil and fold into a square box so that it is raised off of the baking sheet enough that any chicken juices will not reach your garlic. Place garlic on the foil and bake at 375° until the chicken juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°.
- Remove from the oven and chop the chicken into small bite sized strips. Peel the garlic and mince.
- For the Pizza Crust
- Pre-heat oven to 400°. Spray your pizza baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread the pillsbury pizza dough out to the desired thickness and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Sauce Directions
- While the pizza dough is in the oven, add butter and roasted garlic to a medium sauce pan. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat. Stir in your milk and half & half and whisk together. Reduce heat to medium-low. Sift flour over milk mixture while whisking together to prevent lumps. Add ground black pepper, ground thyme, dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley & garlic salt and whisk well. Turn off heat and add parmesan cheese. Stir together until all cheese is melted.
- Assemble Pizza
- Spoon your sauce onto half baked pizza crust.
- Top with chicken
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over entire pizza
- Sprinkle red onion evenly over mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (or more) dried parsley on the very top of the pizza
- Final Baking Instructions
- Place entire pizza back in the oven for an additional 5-6 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese and crust reach your desired doneness!
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

HI, I made this last night and the flavors were absolutely delicious! I added mushrooms because it just screamed mushrooms to me. Only thing I’ll do different next time is to make my own crust. This was the first time I used the pizza crust in the can. I missed that yummy yeast crust. Wonderful pizza, thank you!
Awesome, I’m glad you tried and enjoyed the recipe! The addition of mushrooms sounds great! Thanks for stopping by.
You can find it in the dairy section. It comes in the same type of containers that you get heavy cream and milk in. It’s not as heavy as cream… that’s why its called half and half.
Hi! Please excuse my stupidity, but what is half & half! Thanx
If I am not ordering veggie, then this is the type of pizza I usually love. Please come share at the Bacon Time linky, if you have not already. Happy Tuesday!
I love white sauce on my pizza! I’m glad I found this recipe through the Twirl & Take a Bow link party.
Oh, this looks sooo good! Pinned!
Girl, this has addiction written all over it!!! I love anything with roasted garlic…and pizza?! Sign me up! Pinned!
Made this pizza tonight; looked yummy, sounded yummy. Followed the directions exactly and when I went to eat it, all I could taste was flour. Then I realized the directions regarding the flour step were in the wrong order. The butter and flour should go together, then whisk in your milks. Otherwise the flour does not get cooked and all you taste is flour. Think the next time I make it with those changes it will be awesome! Thanks for the recipe!
My son only likes white sauce pizza so I can’t wait to try to make this for him.
Love it. Going to try the roasted garlic and chicken pizza.
Looks insame! Im tryna find the best pizza sauces to test over the festive period! This 1 could be a main contender!

This looks fab! I am allergic to tomatos so I’m always hunting for alternative pizza and pasta sauces. I will try this soon with steak and provolone cheese.
I’m starting a 40 pizzas project to encourage myself to make homemade pizzas. I just had to pin this one, and I’m sure it will turn up as one of my 40 at some point in the project.

White sauce pizzas rank high on my list of favorite things 🙂 This sounds great, Shauna! Pinned to try on one of our pizza nights!
Oh Shauna, I so love how this pizza looks! I hope I can manage making one like this!
What an awesome combination of flavors, of course you had me at garlic! Do you have a break machine? I make all of my dough with my bread machine, and it does all of the work. I just pull it out of the machine and roll it out. Just in case you ever want to try it again 😉
I really do need to get a bread machine. Maybe I would make more breads if I had one…. If my hubby is reading this maybe he’ll get me one for Christmas (hint, hint)!
This looks delicious, and refrigerator pizza crust is a great shortcut! I have started making my own pizza dough sometimes lately, but I definitely understand not liking it or not wanting to go to the trouble.
