Bacon Chicken Pizza with Creamy Garlic Sauce
We make pizza often here at KQ, and we're always experimenting with variations on our favorite flavor profiles. This latest example created by KQ partner chef Philip, is topped with very crispy chopped bacon, chopped chicken, diced onion, diced jalapeno and grated cheese. The experimental part of the recipe was using creamy garlic sauce, (instead of a tomato based sauce), made using fresh crushed garlic cloves. The results were very tasty. Three of us ate the whole pizza in one sitting!
