Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1.5 cups Cooked chicken or turkey (shredded or diced)
• 4 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
• 1.5 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into your desired shape (round or rectangular). Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until a smooth paste forms.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the béchamel sauce thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

Spread the béchamel sauce evenly onto the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the shredded chicken or turkey over the sauce, followed by the slices of ham. Tear or cut the ham into smaller pieces if necessary.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza (on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Chicken or Turkey Cordon Blue Pizza!
