Simple Pizza



I like a simple pizza. Why? I don't need to make pizza dough.  
Actually, I failed trying to make pizza dough several times. 
One time, the dough didn't rise and another time, I had a hard time rolling out the dough. 
So, I just used a tortilla - It's a good idea!
Furthermore, I cut down my intake of flour a little. Great!

Ingredients 
2-3                    tortillas (small)
10                     cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 lb                chicken  (your favorite part)
1/4                    onion, sliced
1 t                     dried basil or oregano
1 T                    olive oil
1 t                     garlic powder
1 C                    mozzarella cheese
fresh basil to taste
salt and pepper, to taste

Garlic cream sauce
Roux
1 T                     minced garlic
1/2 C                  milk or cream

How to make a Roux

Stir fry sliced onions and set aside.
Cut cleaned chicken into bite size and marinate in the olive oil, dried herbs, garlic powder and salt for 30 minutes.
Stir fry chicken with marinade until golden brown.
Make garlic cream sauce - To the roux add milk or cream and the minced garlic and reduce slightly.
On the tortilla  spread homemade garlic cream sauce, use as much as you like.
Top with sliced cherry tomatoes, stir fried onions, seasoned chicken and mozzarella cheese.
Put on some fresh basil.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
