How To Make chicken pesto pizza

Step 1

For the pesto, place all the ingredients in a food processor except the olive oil. Process while drizzling in the olive oil just until it's smooth.

Step 2

Preheat oven 500 degrees F. Place the dough on a lightly greased pizza pan and spread out to a 12 inch circle. Brush the edges with olive oil. Spread the pesto on the pizza. Top with the mozzarella, chicken and tomatoes. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 3

Remove from oven and top with pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
