Pesto Chicken Pizza
This pesto pizza makes pizza night deliciously easy! All you need are five ingredients, a hot oven, and a craving for pizza full of fresh flavors. It combines basil pesto and melty mozzarella cheese. Add some cooked chicken to make it super easy, and you’ll have a hot, herby, cheesy pizza ready to enjoy in about 30 minutes.
I’ve reached the point of the summer when my desire to cook involved meals with all the steps has reached its inevitable low, so I’m here today with a pizza recipe. It is an actual recipe (except for the dough, which is premade because—hello—it’s summer) with just enough ingredients, measurements, and steps, so we can call it both a proper recipe and a delicious dinner.
It’s easy to make (even fun! if you love the idea of pizza night like me), and the flavors taste like summer, with a light basil pesto sauce and a few fresh basil leaves for garnish. So, all around, this pesto chicken pizza is a summertime win.
