Chicken Pesto Pizza
My family loves chicken and loves pesto, so when I was pressed to make a quick dinner for my family, I created this quick, easy and delicious recipe.
Ingredients:
– one packed thin crust pizza shell
– pulled rotisserie chicken, or sliced chicken breast
– fresh pesto or Maison Le Grand packaged pesto
– sliced apple or pear
– grated old cheddar cheese
Directions:
Spread pesto evenly on pizza shell. Top pesto with chicken, then cheese and finally sliced apple. Â Bake in oven on middle rack at 350 for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and shell is browned. Slice and serve. *Pizza could be grilled as well if you have a pizza grilling pan
One of the easiest meals we’ve made as a family and one of the most delicious. Â Fresh, nutritious, quick and easy. Â We served this pizza with a side salad to round out the meal.
What is your family’s favourite quick meal?

Thank you. I had a pizza with apples on it in Italy years ago. Since then I’ve been trying to add apples to a variety of pizzas.

The pizza looks delicious!! We love pizza and I make it once or twice a month but surprisingly I have never made a pizza with chicken. After reading this delicious looking and sounding recipe I will definitely be trying it very soon. I have pinned it too :)

Is it sad that I’ve never had pesto before? And apples on a pizza? That sounds so fun for the kids and amazingly delicious. Now I’m hungry.
