Tuscan Pizza With Basil Crème Fraiche image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 prepared pizza crust (Boboli or frozen)
1 cup cooked diced chicken
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup red pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons basil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon basil, for garnish, if desired

Steps:

  • 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.
