Pesto and Artichoke Chicken Pizza - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: From me to you
One of my go-to meals! I use a few ready-made store bought ingredients to make this delicious and simple meal for any day of the week. Always a hit!
This can be seen on my blog as part of my Dinner & A Movie series.
Ingredients
1 ball of store bought dough- thawed and ready to use (or make your own)
flour for rolling out the dough
1 lb of chicken breasts
1 package of store bought pesto (or make your own)
about 4 pieces of marinated artichoke hearts or 1 small can
1 ball of FRESH mozzarella
Small piece of Parmigiano-Reggiano
olive oil
red pepper flakes
salt & pepper
Instructions
Let your frozen dough ball thaw as per package instructions.
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Bring about 4 cups of water to a boil and add the chicken breasts cooking until meat is white thoughout (about 5-7mins. Remove from water and dice the chicken up into small pieces. Place in a bowl and add about 1/4 of the pesto to coat the chicken pieces.
Toss / roll / press dough out into the pizza shape you want, I have to make it oblong because my NYC oven is so small. Pour the remaining Pesto onto the pizza and spread out in a thin layer. Take the marinated artichoke hearts and break apart and spread over the pesto. Continue the same with the chicken. Slice the mozzarella into thin pieces and evenly spread on the pizza. Grate on the top some fresh parmigiano, salt & pepper to taste, 1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and a small quick drizzle of olive oil. Place in the oven for about 7mins, watching carefully to get it just browned and crispy but not burned.
