Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets or air fryer basket.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Create a flour slurry by mixing all-purpose flour with water until dissolved. Gradually stir this slurry into the simmering sauce for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
  4. Spread a generous portion of sauce over each pita. Layer with chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and shredded mozzarella.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the oven or air fry for 5-6 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with extra sauce for dipping.

Customize toppings as per your preference, keeping in mind to avoid over-saucing to prevent sogginess. For best results, cook pizzas one at a time in the air fryer.
