One of the easiest meals to plan is pizza night. Everyone is happy when I answer the unending question of “What’s for dinner tonight?” with “pizza.” If I ever want to feel like a hero in my own house, I make pizza for dinner. The boys just want cheese pizza. They will tolerate pepperoni, but cheese reigns supreme. Jared and I, however, require more for our refined palates. 😉 My favorite make-at-home pizza is Garlic Chicken White Pizza. 
I usually buy a pre-made crust for pizza night. It’s just easier. We like a crispy-thin crust for white pizza. I’m not even sure why, because I love pan pizza crusts, but thin crust just goes better with chicken, I think. You only need one chicken breast for a whole pizza. The chicken I bought must have been pumping iron in the yard, because the one breast I had was HUGE. I used an 8″ Calphalon chef knife to cut it into cubes. I’m seriously in love with my new knives. They have ceramic sharpeners built in to the knife block, so every time I pull one out, the blade gets sharpened. It makes the chore of prep work so much easier!
Tip: It’s easier to cut up a chicken breast that’s still slightly frozen.
The beauty in this recipe is its simplicity. Just a few ingredients come together to make the chicken full of flavor. You can top the pizza with raw garlic and onion and let it cook in the oven, or saute it with the meat. Personally, I prefer to sweat the onions and garlic a bit and cook it all together with the chicken.
Tip: Smash a garlic clove under the flat side of the knife blade to easily remove the paper shell.
After the chicken is cooked, grab your pizza crust, some alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese and you’re ready to take pizza night up a notch with this Garlic Chicken White Pizza!
