Garlic Chicken Pizza

Pizza is a definite favorite in our household.  We eat it on a pretty regular basis and of course I try to do mostly homemade.  Well I had listed on our menu pizza and I wanted to branch out of our normal red sauce pepperoni pizza.  So if any of you have been to Papa Murphy's you probably know they have a fabulous Garlic Chicken Pizza with white sauce.  So here is my recreated version.

Garlic Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

For the Sauce:
2 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
1 cup warm milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 Tablespoon dried basil
1/2 cup pizza cheese (just use whatever you are putting on the pizza.  I like to get the Great Value Italian Style shredded cheese)

For the pizza:
Pizza Dough (I recommend this one)
Pizza Cheese
2 chicken breasts, cooked
1 1/2 - 2 Roma Tomatoes, diced
1/2 - 3/4 cup green onions, diced

For the sauce:
Heat butter on medium-high heat in small sauce pan.  Add flour and stir until thoroughly mixed.  Let butter/flour cook for 1 minute, stir constantly to avoid burning.

Slowly whisk in milk, adding gradually.  You want to be sure milk is warm.   It will help in thickening process.  Stir in remaining ingredients and keep on heat until it's to desired thickness, stirring constantly.

For the pizza:
Par-bake pizza dough.  (I would recommend on a pizza stone, at 450 for about 3-4 minutes).  This will help with sogginess from the sauce.  Once par-baked, spread a little olive oil on crust.  Add sauce, cheese, chicken, tomatoes and green onions.  Cook for another 5-10 minutes until done.
