Tuscan Pizza With Basil Crème Fraiche

"This grown up version of everyone's favorite meal has chicken and basil paired with creme fraiche and dried cranberries for a balance of savory and sweet. The sun-dried tomatoes and cranberries give this pizza its pop! This is a great way to use left-over chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken. Cooking time will vary depending on which type of pizza crust you are using."

directions

  • Follow the package instructions for the preparation of the crust.
  • In a small bowl, add rosemary, Italian seasoning, and basil to the creme fraiche. Stir until combined.
  • Using a large spoon, place mixture on prepared crust just as you would regular pizza sauce. Leave about 1/2" from all edges.
  • Sprinkle diced chicken, green onions, red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes all over the sauce. Add cranberries to the top.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozarella cheese over the top.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 375F oven for 10-14 minutes (again use pizza crust's directions--the time depends on which crust you've purchased).
  • Remove from oven when the bottom of the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Slice, and garnish with additional chopped or torn basil, if desired.

  1. EXCELLENT! Enjoyed the combination of sweet and savory. We love to try unusual pizzas for our Friday Night is Pizza Night, and this one will be added to the list of "must make again".
     
  2. This is amazing. This was made by using flat bread and making 2 individual pizzas. I'm not sure about the quantities and how it would work with a larger pizza because I used pretty much the quantity indicated for each ingredient except for the shredded cheese. If I were to make this as a larger pizza, I might increase some of the ingredients. This was a very creative use of contest ingredients and something I would not hesitate to make again.
