Pesto Chicken Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 1½ cup cooked chicken breast
• ½ cup pesto
• 1½ cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
• ¼ cup red onion (optional)
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (optional)
• ¼ cup fresh basil (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer to a pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Spread the pesto evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Distribute the cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, and any optional toppings like sliced cherry tomatoes or red onion over the pesto.
5. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese if desired, slice, and serve hot.
