White garlic chicken and vegetable pizza

Step 1

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in milk and cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Add salt, pepper, garlic and basil.

Step 3

Mix in Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese has melted.

Step 4

Remove from heat. Sauce will thicken as it stands.

Step 5

For one regular pizza crust (using homemade dough) I like to pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes at 475 degrees F., before adding the toppings.

Step 6

After 5 minutes in the oven, remove the crust. Spread crust with an even, smooth layer of white garlic sauce. Sprinkle with cheese, chicken, vegetables, and more cheese on top.

Step 7

Return to oven at 475 degrees F for about 10-12 more minutes, or until golden brown.
