I think I found a new family favorite! It is a nice compromise to ordering out and in comparison to restaurants, it’s a cheaper alternative. It does cost more than our average meal, so I plan to fix it again on the days we want something special.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed. (Next time you bake or grill chicken, prepare an extra couple of pieces for this recipe to make preparation even easier.)
1 (6 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained (My store did not have the jar, so I used a 13 ounce can and it worked quite well.)
1/2 cup shredded fontina, mozzarella or Italian Blend cheese.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Spread pesto sauce evenly over the crust. Place chicken and artichoke hearts over the sauce. Add cheese.
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are light brown.
So easy and delicious!

That sounds yummy! Hubs won’t eat artichokes, so this is one of those recipes I’d get to eat all by myself!
That looks delicous. Those are some good combonations of ingredients, pesto goes good with artichokes and a good italian cheese will go good with chicken. If you would like to see the collection of tips and recipes I have for grilling you can visit http://www.cookingandgrillinoutdoors.com
Heather, that looks great! I’d love to give this recipe a try. Visiting from Jen’s party.
Check out my post today about making pesto. It would be perfect for this great-sounding pizza. I actually make one very similar to this, and it is definitely on our favorites list. Beginning August 5, I will be hosting Crock Pot Wednesdays at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. I hope you will join in the fun. There will be prizes:)
I made a chicken pasta w/pesto last night – sounds like the leftovers would be yummy on a pizza like this. Thanks for the idea!
