Whats For Dinner?

Roasted Garlic Chicken Pesto Pizza

Thats what.
Adapted from THIS recipe
I have to say that this is the best pizza I have ever made. (Hence the taking pictures of my dinner and blogging about it while Hubby is doing the dishes)

Ingredients:
  • pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup prepared pesto (store bough or homemade)
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked
  • 1/3 cup chopped Italian Salami
  • 1/2 Can of tidbit Pineapple
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
Directions:

  1. To roast the garlic: Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Place the garlic heads in a baking pan; muffin pans work well for this purpose. Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed. Remove garlic gloves and smash with a fork.
  2. Spread roasted garlic over pizza dough. Do this to taste. I used almost the whole (small) bulb, but I LOVE roasted garlic.
  3. Spread the pesto on the pizza.
  4. Add the sliced, cooked chicken, salami and pinapple
  5. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
  6. Top with fresh grated parmesan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 min at 350 C or until cooked through

Vwala. The most delicious pizza. Ever.
