Ingredients
- 1 Prepared Pizza Dough, at room temperature
- ~1/4-1/2 cup Basil Pesto
- ~1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- ~1 cup Shredded Chicken (use a rotisserie chicken, or if you have chicken leftovers!)
- 1 large Tomato, Sliced into 1/4" thick slices, seeds removed
- Olive Oil, to brush the baked crust
- Flaky Sea Salt, to sprinkle on the baked crust
- Fresh Cracked Pepper, for finishing
- Grated Parmesan, for finishing
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Lightly oil a small sheet tray.
Stretch or Roll dough out to a rectangle shape.
Lay dough in pan and let the crust come up the sides of the pan.
Brush or use a spoon to spread about half of the Pesto on the dough.
Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, the chicken, then more mozzarella.
Arrange the tomato slices evenly on the pizza and dollop the remaining pesto around the pizza and finish with a little more mozzarella.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
As soon as it comes out of the oven, carefully ease it out of the pan onto a cutting board and brush the crust with olive oil.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt on the crust.
Top pizza with fresh cracked black pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
Slice into squares.
