In the same pan where the chicken was cooked (do not clean it, as the fond adds flavor), melt the butter over medium heat. Squeeze in the minced garlic from the tube and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy whipping cream, then add the shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of powdered jerk seasoning, and Kinder's The Blend Salt, Pepper & Garlic seasoning. Mix all the ingredients in the pan until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.

Spread the prepared creamy jerk sauce evenly across the pizza crust, leaving the braided edge clear. Add about half of the chopped cooked chicken on top of the sauce. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Add the remaining chopped cooked chicken on top of the mozzarella cheese. Arrange the green bell pepper strips, orange bell pepper strips, and red onion slices over the pizza. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the toppings. Drizzle any remaining creamy jerk sauce on top of the assembled pizza.
