Pesto Chicken Sheet Pan Pizza

This Pesto Chicken pizza has been my go-to for those busy weekdays and it’s a family favorite, not to mention it’s really easy to make. I buy the dough and pesto from Costco. I always have the dough in the fridge, it’s one of my favorites aside from my homemade which you can find on my page.

—Ingredients—

2 pounds pizza dough

5 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup pesto or more if you want

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 grilled chicken breasts (diced)

1 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half or in fourths)

1 small red onion (sliced thin)

Fresh basil for garnish

Parmesan cheese Grated on top

1. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a sheet pan, place the dough in the sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let pizza dough stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil on top of the dough. Gently press the dough into the oiled pan. Press the dough until it fills the whole tray.

3. Spread the pesto on top, followed by the mozzarella cheese, grilled and diced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onions and lastly add more cheese on top.

4. Bake the pizza for about 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.

5. Once out of the oven, Top the pizza with fresh basil and some grated Parmesan cheese, if desired and enjoy!!!

Making a delicious pizza at home doesn't have to be complicated. This Pesto Chicken Sheet Pan Pizza combines convenience with flavor, making it perfect for those hectic weekdays. Start with your favorite pre-made pizza dough, which is not only time-saving but also ensures a perfectly baked crust. The key to this pizza's deliciousness lies in the generous amount of pesto spread over the dough. Pesto, made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil, adds a vibrant flavor and aroma that will have your family asking for more. To elevate the pizza, top it off with fresh mozzarella cheese, giving it that gooey texture we all love. Grilled chicken adds protein, making this dish filling and satisfying. Don't forget the cherry tomatoes which not only bring a splash of color but also a burst of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory ingredients. Red onions contribute a subtle crunch and flavor that rounds out the pizza. After baking, a sprinkle of fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese will give your pizza that restaurant-quality finish. Serve this delightful dish with a side salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal everyone will enjoy. This recipe aligns with healthy eating practices by incorporating fresh ingredients, making it a wholesome dinner option. Enjoy plenty of hearty slices with your loved ones!
