directions

1. Spread roasted garlic on pizza crust (mash it and spread), and top with pesto sauce.
2. Arrange chicken, and tomatoes over this, and top with sliced chicken breast.
3. If you like a little bite, sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

We really enjoyed this pizza for something different for a change. I made it using pizza dough recipe #106123 and used a prepared pesto sauce. I also garnished with some flat leaf parsley. I thought the overall taste just didn't 'pop' for me and needed a sprinkle of kosher salt or parmesan cheese to brighten it. I think it was due to the chicken. I will make this again but will just adjust a little more seasonings next time.

Yummo, hubby wasn't home for tea so I made a small one of these for my dinner, I didn't use the roasted garlic but garlic infused cooking spray on the bases to make it a bit easier. Used some leftover rotisserie chicken & fresh tomatoes from the garden, also added some chopped onion, great pizza!

This was awesome! I didn't have time to roast the garlic, so I just pressed each clove and then smeared it all over the crust, and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Turned out great! Thank you for helping me get out of my pepperoni and cheese rut.

I hate when people mess up your ingredients in their comments.....yet I am doing so. I had to use a bagel instead of pizza dough b/c I was a forgetful shopper. Nontheless, this was absolutely FANTASTIC! Thnks so much canarygirl!

This was a great pizza recipe! I replaced the tomato with the red pepper and added some feta cheese. I also sprinkled some hot red pepper flakes over it! Next time I might also roast a couple more garlic cloves since our cloves were pretty small. Thanks for a great recipe!
