I dub it the all purpose
cilantro pesto. It makes a quick and delicious sauce for a pizza. I just realized I should have used some cheddar or jack cheese instead of mozzarella...oh well....next time. It's so easy to try out different toppings on pizza....really the sky is the limit. This was something of a leftover pizza for me...leftover pesto and Mexican shredded chicken. Normally I'd even have the crusts ready to go in the freezer, but I happened to be out. So nice when everything is already cooked and you just have to spread the toppings on. ;)
You can use ready made crust or dough from the store instead of making it yourself if you are in a time crunch, but it's really simple to make your own. Honestly, pizza crust is one of the easiest yeast breads to try out.
Pesto Chicken Pizza
Mexican Shredded Chicken
Pizza Crust
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Cilantro Pesto
Goat Cheese
Top baked pizza crust with pesto and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Spread chicken across cheese. Sprinkle on a bit of goat cheese. Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese is nicely melted. Nom!
Another picture of the yummies...
Mmmm....pizza....so delicious and yet so easy to throw together. I almost always do the individual sized pizzas, but then I generally customize the toppings to who's eating it.
i love pizzas without tomato sauce!
