Chicken and prosciutto white pizza

Ingredients:
3 chicken breast
2 packages of  prosciutto 3oz. each
2 cups of Italian blend cheese
4 green onions
1 Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough
1 tbs corn meal

Sauce:
1/2 cup of heavy cream
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbs butter
2 tbs grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Grill chicken breast until cooked through, set aside. Lay prosciutto pieces on a cookie sheet and  bake in the oven on 400 degrees until crisp. 
Set aside as well. Sprinkle cornmeal over baking sheet or pizza stone and unroll pizza crust. Bake crust according to directions on package.
While the crust is baking put butter in a small sauce pan with the garlic. Cook on medium heat until the garlic just starts to change color and pour whipping cream in pan. Whisk until mixture starts to thicken. Add the Parmesan cheese.  This is the Alfredo style sauce.

The crust should be done by this point. Take out and let cool for a few mins. Slice or chop the chicken into small bites, set aside. Crumble the prosciutto just like if it was bacon. Now you are ready to assemble pizza.
Spoon on the sauce as much or as little as you prefer. Spread it across the crust. Sprinkle half of the Italian cheese. Put chicken evenly over crust. Now sprinkle the prosciutto over the chicken. Spread the other half of the Italian cheese over the topping to help glue them down. Lastly sprinkle the green onions over the whole pizza. Put the pizza back in the oven on 425 degrees and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 


You can also make this pizza with a store bought Alfredo sauce. You can also substitute the prosciutto with bacon. Prosciutto is a thin sliced cured ham. Its very salty like bacon but has that tangy aged flavor. I love it on sandwiches or even crispy sprinkled over a salad.
