Easy Chicken Pesto Pizza Recipe
A deliciously easy Chicken Pesto Pizza made with a store bought dough, topped with meats and veggies of choice and baked to perfection.
My recipe for Chicken Pesto Pizza has got to be one of my most popular recipes. It tastes wonderful and impresses everyone who tries it. What is most great about it though, is how easy it is to make.
I utilize pre-made pizza dough from a local chain, Papa Murphy’s. It comes already rolled out on a disposable baking dish for $3 / large. You can make your own dough or buy an already baked dough, if you prefer. I have tried all three options and I liked the taste, texture, and ease of buying the dough from Papa Murphy’s.
Now that you are set on the dough, all you have to do is grab a few more ingredients and you are ready to roll.

- Sprinkle sun dried tomatoes over pizza. Sprinkle cheese over pizza.
- With your fingers or a basting brush, apply light layer of olive oil to 1 inch border around pizza.
