  • Evenly spread the white garlic sauce over the dough, leaving a small border.
  • Distribute the shredded chicken and diced red onion over the sauce.

  • Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to keep the crust crispy.

    • Experiment with cheeses like Fontina, Gouda, or Provolone for a unique flavor.
