Indulge in the world's most famous and beloved green sauce on your pizza! Originating from Italy, Pesto sauce brings an elegant and sophisticated flavor to our Chicken Pesto Pizza. This delicious combination gives you a taste of Italy while providing the comforting warmth of cheesy goodness!
Ingredients:
- Pizza Crust: Choose any premade pizza crust, and we recommend Momma Mary's Original Pizza Crust.
- Pesto Sauce: Opt for Traditional Basil Pesto Sauce for an authentic taste.
- Chicken Breast: Season to your liking, cook, and dice.
- Red Onion: Thinly slice for added crunch.
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Generously sprinkle over the pizza.
- Spinach: Optional, for an extra dose of green goodness.
- Baby Tomatoes: Optional, for a burst of freshness.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season and bake the chicken breast for about 20-30 minutes or until fully cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, unwrap the Pizza Crust and spread a generous layer of pesto sauce on top.
- Add the cooked diced chicken.
- Sprinkle the pizza with cheese, red onion, spinach, and sliced tomatoes.
- Drizzle additional pesto sauce over the top if desired.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven at 450 degrees and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, slice, and savor every bite.
- Don't forget to store any leftovers in your Pizza Pack to maintain their deliciousness for later!
Extra Tips:
- For a quicker and easier version, you can use frozen grilled chicken. Simply air fry, bake, or cook it in a skillet for a time-saving option.
- If you're not a fan of pesto sauce, consider adding alfredo sauce to the pizza. You can either drizzle pesto over an alfredo base or mix both sauces together for a unique flavor twist. Both alternatives are delicious!
