recipe: Chicken Pesto Pizza
So, how far behind am I on posting recipes? So far behind that this one includes pictures from my old camera AND our old house!
But the food is still delish. I promise.
Ingredients: pizza crust, a chicken breast, olive oil, mozzarella cheese, a tomato, and a jar of pesto sauce.
Slice the chicken and place into a small skillet with some olive oil and black pepper.
Saute the chicken until cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prep the pizza crust. I just use the refrigerated tube-y crust, you can use whatever kind you want.
Spread the pesto sauce on the pizza crust.
It sure looks gross, but it’s soooo yummy.
Top with CHEESE!!!
Cut the tomato into thin slices.
Place the tomato slices on top of the cheese- kind of like pepperoni!
When the chicken is done cooking, add it to the pizza.
Bake according to the pizza crust directions (for me, it was 15 minutes at 425 degrees F) until the cheese is all melty and yummy!

LZ @ My Messy Paradise’s last blog post: Top Ten Thursday: Who are these people?
I would recommend leaving the whole tomatoes off, cause there disgusting, and slicing the chicken into smaller pieces that way you get chicken with every bite instead of some giant chunk sliding off in one bite.
ha well if you don’t like tomatoes, you can certainly leave them off! We actually like the larger pieces of chicken, but that’s definitely something you could do differently.
