Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza
Description
Begin by evenly spreading raw pizza dough on a prepared surface. Diced boneless, skinless chicken breast is quickly sautéed with salt and black pepper until browned on the outside, but slightly pink inside, ensuring it finishes cooking in the oven without drying out. A mixture of roasted garlic cloves mashed with olive oil forms a fragrant, garlicky base spread over the dough, adding depth of flavor. The pizza is layered with mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken, a sprinkling of garlic powder, and fresh chopped oregano, then topped with additional mozzarella.
Baking the pizza at 425°F for approximately 15 minutes melts and lightly browns the cheese while cooking the dough to a crisp crust. The result is a savory, garlic-forward pizza with tender chicken bites and aromatic herbs. The garlic paste yields a smooth, rich layer that infuses the crust with roasted garlic essence.
This pizza is suitable for a shared meal or casual dinner and can be paired with a simple salad to complement the rich toppings. Fresh oregano adds brightness and balances the roasted garlic flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 chicken breast diced, boneless, skinless
- salt kosher salt

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 cloves garlic roasted cloves

Instructions

- Once the oil is hot add in diced chicken and season with a little kosher salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. It's ok for the chicken to still be pink in the middle you're just getting the outside a little browned.
- In a small bowl add olive oil and roasted garlic cloves.
- Mix together until the garlic cloves are mashed and the mixture is somewhat smooth.
- Spread roasted garlic mixture over the top of the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the dough.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheese, prepared chicken, sprinkle with garlic powder, and 1/2 of the chopped oregano.
- Top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
- Add to the oven and cook for about 15 minutes until the cheese is browned and the dough is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with remaining oregano and serve hot.
