Ingredients

  1. 5 oz. sun-dried tomatoes in oil, divided
  2. 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 3 garlic cloves, minced
  4. 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  5. 1 c. heavy cream
  6. 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
  7. 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  8. 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  9. 1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for sprinkling
  10. 16 oz. store-bought or homemade pizza dough
  11. 2 oz. mozzarella, shredded
  12. 4 oz. rotisserie chicken, shredded

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to to 550°. Finely chop 4 oz. tomatoes. Slice remaining 1 oz. tomato into bite-sized pieces; set aside for serving.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chopped tomatoes and garlic, stirring, just until garlic softens and tomatoes start to break down, about 3 minutes; season with 1/2 tsp. salt.
  3. Add cream, basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat to medium-low if sauce starts boiling, until reduced, thickened, and coats the back of the spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Stretch dough into a 12"- to 14"-diameter round and place on a round pizza pan or large baking sheet. Spread cooled sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2" to 1" border. Sprinkle mozzarella over, then top with chicken.
  5. Bake pizza until bottom and edges are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  6. Top with reserved sliced tomatoes and more basil and Parmesan.
