- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Toppings
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast sliced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
Preparation
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add flour and stir continuously to form a roux. Slowly whisk in cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth and thick. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Baking
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Serving
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
