Chicken Pesto Pizza

A couple of weeks ago, I discovered wonderful homemade pizza crust, and already I am seeing my work pay off.  When I first made pizza dough, I doubled the recipe and froze the dough.  Two weeks later, I am able to throw together a homemade pizza in just minutes, and might I add it is delicious! This chicken pesto pizza is especially great when you have leftover chicken breast.  I had grilled up some chicken for dinner last night, and cooked an extra breast for dinner tonight. This pizza is great any night of the week and the leftovers are even better.  Enjoy!

Chicken Pesto Pizza
Recipe Notes
Any seasoned grilled chicken will work great.  If making the chicken just for the pizza, season with salt, pepper and garlic salt before grilling.  Feel free to try whatever cheese you have on hand as well.
Ingredients
Homemade pizza dough (click here for recipe)
1/2 cup basil pesto
1 grilled chicken breast, sliced thinly
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1.  Preheat oven to 475 degrees.  On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into the shape of your cookie sheet.  Place crust on a piece of parchment paper and place on pan.
2.  Spread a thin layer of pest on entire crust, leaving a 1/2 inch around the edge with no pesto.
3.  Sprinkle parmesan cheese.
4.  Sprinkle monterey jack cheese to cover all of the pesto.
5.  Place slices of chicken breast on top.  Sprinkle with a bit more parmesan cheese.
6.  Generously salt and pepper the entire pizza.
7.  Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until crust is crispy and brown.
8.  Cut into rectangular pieces and serve.
