White Pizza with Chicken and Fresh Herbs

A recipe for White Pizza with Chicken and Fresh Herbs! This pizza is topped with a parmesan garlic sauce, chicken, onions, cheese, and plenty of fresh herbs.

Pizza is one of Chad and Evan’s favorite foods, so I try to make it fairly often. I love finding new varieties.

I first came across this White Pizza with Chicken and Fresh Herbs over on Pink Parsley and it has such a fun and delicious combination of flavors.

It was also a great way to trim down some of my herbs in the garden before the end of summer.

The base is a white Parmesan sauce with roasted garlic. It is topped with shredded chicken, red onions, and mozzarella.

Immediately before serving, the pizza is sprinkled with fresh oregano, chives, and parsley.

Of course, Chad has some very specific criteria for what is called a pizza. He believes all pizza should have tomatoes, so obviously this one is not a “pizza”. To him, it is a pie. We have had this discussion several times now and nothing will convince him otherwise. No matter what he calls it, we all still loved the flavor.

You can use your favorite homemade or store-bought pizza dough.

Adjust the herbs to taste or swap for other favorite varieties.
