Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza

Pinterest is one of those things you either love or just don't get the appeal of. I bet you can guess what side I fall on... but if you can't, I love it. I have been using Pinterest for quite some time now to find new recipes and I really can't get enough of it. I am constantly exposed to recipes from blogs I would have never found. I also get the best ideas for my classroom- I spent the past weekend making about 10 things I found on Pinterest for this coming school year and I can't wait to use them! I think what makes Pinterest such a hit for me is that I am an extremely visual person- especially when it comes to food. The first time I saw this pizza I knew it was meant for me. I dreamed about it, longed for it, craved it... and then finally I made it! It uses Philadelphia Cooking Creme which is something I've been meaning to try after hearing my friend Natalie rave about it for quite some time. I am such a fan! I know it's heavily processed, blah blah blah, but boy does it give this pizza some delicious flavor. The only thing I'd do differently next time is use a thicker crust. I used a very thin crust and I just felt the hearty flavors could have benefitted from a sturdier base.

Try it. You won't be disappointed.
