  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (halved or quartered) over the chicken.
  5. Scatter 1/4 cup dried cranberries across the pizza.
  6. Add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves over the cheese.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and crust type.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Drizzle with additional crème fraîche if desired.
