I'm a PESTO fan

We were over at a friend’s house a few nights ago and we had Papa Murphy’s Pesto Chicken Pizza. It was so good that I thought I would try it out on my own… here is what I came up with. Tastes pretty close.

Chicken PESTO Pizza



frozen pizza dough (thawed)
2 tsp olive oil
½ lb bag pre-cooked chicken strips (Italian style)
¼ cup frozen chopped onion
¼ cup frozen chopped green pepper
1 tsp minced garlic (I didn't add this, but thought I would next time)
a few pieces of chopped fresh tomato
3 - 4 Tablespoons Pesto sauce
1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella
Few shakes of salt and pepper
(Some of these measurements are just estimates b/c I am a dumper when it comes to cooking)

Press pizza dough out on pizza pan. (I sprinkled a bit cornmeal on pan to make it not sick). Spread pesto sauce on pizza dough then sprinkle with half of cheese. Sauté onion, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until tender; add chicken strips to heat. Add chicken mixture to pizza, then top with tomatoes, and remaining cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes.
