Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust or homemade pizza dough
  • 1 cup basil pesto
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust instructions, usually around 475°F (245°C).
  • Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread Pesto: Evenly spread the basil pesto over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Add Chicken: Sprinkle the cooked chicken evenly over the pesto, followed by the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Optional Toppings: If using, distribute the chopped sun-dried tomatoes over the top.
  • Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Garnish: Remove from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, and add fresh basil leaves before slicing. Serve hot.
