Pizza is a favorite food in our house. We love all different types and kinds of pizza, but our favorite is my homemade chicken garlic pizza. It has a white sauce and is a little different than your usual pepperoni pizza.
My local grocery store sells delicious pre-made pizza dough which helps make this pizza come together even faster. Whether you use a store bought dough or make yours from scratch, it’s delicious either way.
While a round pizza stone or pan is handy to have and makes the perfect crust, it’s not required to cook this pizza. I do have a rectangular stoneware bar pan that I cook my pizza in, but if I’m making 2 pizzas I make the other one on a regular cookie sheet.
I love using my garlic press to mince the garlic cloves. It’s less messy and so fast and easy.
You don’t have to add bacon to this pizza, but it does add an extra hint of flavor. If I have any extra bacon on hand I will chop it into pieces and add it to the top.
One of the best things about making homemade pizza is that you can customize it to your liking. You can add different ingredients or leave off the ones you don’t like. If you love a pizza with white sauce, then this chicken garlic pizza is sure to become a family pizza night favorite.
