Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza

What you need:

    • 1 head of garlic (pick a firm one with cloves packed closely together - no green)
    • Olive oil
    • 1 recipe pizza dough
    • 1/2 cup Italian herb and cheese cooking creme (or whipped cream cheese with Italian seasoning and Parmesan mixed in)
    • 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
    • 1 small vidalia onion, diced
    • 2 cups Cheddar Jack cheese
    • Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

    1. To roast head of garlic: peel off papery stuff on the outside of the garlic. Then slice 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the tops of the cloves. Put head of garlic on some aluminum foil and drizzle a little olive oil over the exposed cloves. Close the foil over the top and make a hole for steam to escape. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then squeeze the cloves from the skin and give them a rough chop.
    2. Increase the heat of your oven to 425 degrees.
    3. Roll out pizza dough and place on a pan.
    4. Spread cooking cream on top, then top with chicken, onion, garlic, and a small amount of the chopped parsley.
    5. Top with cheese and bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
    6. Let cool for 5 minutes before topping with more parsley and slicing to serve.
