Chicken Pesto Pizza Deluxe
My own recipe based on a favorite from our local pizza place!
Ingredients:
Cornmeal for dusting
3 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 uncooked pizza dough ball (available in refrigerated section of your local market or you can even purchase them from your local pizzeria!)
3 tablespoons purchased pesto sauce
1 cup shredded mixed Italian Cheeses
3/4 cup cooked, cubed chicken breast
1 4 ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained, sliced
1 Plum Tomato, seeded and chopped
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic in small dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over. Bake until garlic is very tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove garlic from oven and cool. Peel garlic cloves; chop. Set garlic aside. Increase oven temperature to 475°F.
Dust a large preheated pizza stone with cornmeal. toss and stretch pizza dough ball to a 9 to 10 inch circle. Place the stretched dough onto prepared pizza stone. Brush edges of crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Combine chopped garlic with pesto sauce and spread evenly around the crust, leaving 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle chicken, artichoke hearts and cheese around the pizza.
Bake until cheese melts and bottom of crust is golden, about 15 minutes. Remove pizza from oven. Sprinkle chopped tomato over and serve. Yum-0!
Serves 2-3 hungry adults!
