Notes

1. Use another favorite herbed oil and skip the first two steps, if you prefer.

Directions

1. To make Garlic-Thyme Oil, in small skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and thyme. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn garlic. Remove from heat; cool.
2. Transfer garlic and thyme to sterilized jar or bottle. Pour remaining oil into jar. Cover tightly with lid. Let steep 2 hours before using, shaking jar periodically. Test for desired flavor. Once preferred flavor is developed, strain oil and store in refrigerator.
3. Heat broiler.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon Garlic-Thyme Oil over pita. Layer cheese, chicken, onion and apple on pita. Sprinkle with oregano and jalapeño. Place on baking sheet.
5. Broil pizza 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. For crisper crust, place pizza directly on baking rack.
