# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 1-2 heads of garlic (unpeeled, tops sliced off) on foil, drizzle with a little olive oil, and wrap. Roast for 30-40 minutes until very soft. Let cool, then squeeze out 1/2 cup roasted garlic cloves.
02 -
In a food processor or blender, combine the 1/2 cup roasted garlic cloves, 1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy.
03 -
Increase oven temperature to 425°F. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the 1 lb whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
04 -
Evenly spread the creamy roasted garlic sauce over the prepared dough. Top with the 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded. Sprinkle generously with 1 1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. This forms the delicious foundation for your High-Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
05 -
Distribute the 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced, over the cheese. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted for your High-Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
06 -
Remove the High-Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza from the oven. Garnish immediately with 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, and fresh basil leaves. Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing into 6 servings and enjoying this flavorful High-Protein Roasted Garlic White Chicken Pizza.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy crust, preheat your pizza stone in the oven for at least 30 minutes before placing the pizza on it.
02 -
If you don't have Greek yogurt, a light cream cheese or ricotta can be used in the sauce for a similar creamy texture, though the protein content may vary.
03 -
Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven for best results.
04 -
Pair this hearty pizza with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to complete your meal.
