Chicken, Proscuitto, Carmelized Onion Pizza with Lemon Pepper Cream Sauce
This pizza was inspired by a pizza Joe and I used to eat at Bertucci's. Unfortunately, all the Bertucci Restaurants near us have closed. Although I have not been able to figure out the recipe for the crust that Bertucci's uses, this pizza has a great tasting lemon-pepper cream sauce with carmelized onions, chicken and proscuitto as the toppings. This pizza is amazing!
Ingredients:
  1 pizza crust, a very thin crust
  1 cup chicken, cooked and diced
  4 slices proscuitto, chopped
For the carmelized onions:
  3 large onions, thinly sliced
  4 tsp. butter
For the lemon-pepper cream sauce:
  2 tbl. butter
  2 tbl. flour
  1 cup chicken broth
   3/4 cup milk
  2 tbl lemon-pepper seasoning
Chicken, Proscuitto, Carmelized Onion Pizza with Lemon Pepper Cream Sauce

Instructions:
Lightly season cooked chicken with lemon-pepper seasoning.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook about 3 minutes. Meanwhile heat chicken broth and add milk. Stir chicken broth/milk mixture into butter/flour mixture. Continue to cook until comes to a boil, stirring frequently. Continue to cook for about 5 more minutes. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

In a large pan, melt butter for carmelized onions. Add onions and cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until onions turn brown (but not burnt).

Cook pizza crust for about 5 minutes at 350°

To assemble pizza, spread lemon-pepper cream sauce over pizza crust. Spread carmelized onions over sauce. Sprinkle chicken and proscuitto over onions.

Bake at 350° for 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven. Enjoy!

Note: Often use frozen bread dough as the pizza crust and make individual sized pizzas as shown on this page.

Serves: 2-4
