Easy Chicken Pesto Pizza

Easy Chicken Pesto Pizza

Today I want to show you another one of our favorite and interesting combinations for homemade pizza. We really liked this pizza with chicken and pesto sauce. It's special and I warmly recommend it.

You can make the pesto sauce beforehand (it keeps well in the freezer), as well as the roasted chicken breast. I always keep a few pieces in the freezer specifically for this pizza or other quick meals with cooked chicken.

Ingredients

Pizza dough
2 pieces

Pesto sauce
4 tbsp

Cooked chicken breast

Step by step

Step 1

Prepare the green pesto sauce or Pesto Genovese - my recipe is here.

You can prepare it fresh the day before, or keep in the freezer if you make it in advance.

Step 2

Thinly slice the chicken breast and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can cook it on the grill, bake in the oven, in a pan, or even use chicken schnitzels.

It can also be prepared beforehand and kept cold or in the freezer.

It's delicious and definitely worth trying.
