The ultimate comfort food, this 5 ingredient cheesy chicken pesto pizza is made on a whole wheat pizza crust and topped with juicy sun-dried tomatoes.
Pizza is my husband’s love language. It’s true. And you know what my love language is? Pre-made whole wheat pizza crusts that don’t require me to pretend I know anything about yeast and dough.
We recently got our very first Trader Joe’s that is just 5 minutes from my house so we almost always grab one of their whole wheat pizza crusts to keep on hand for busy weeknight dinners. Using just a handful of pantry staples and leftover rotisserie chicken, you are less than 15 minutes away from this Cheesy Chicken Pesto Pizza with Sun-Dried Tomatoes.
I like to sprinkle it with a little fresh parsley and red chili flakes to serve but to be honest, it hardly needs any doctoring. Warm gooey cheese, fresh basil pesto and tender shredded chicken are topped with tangy sun-dried tomatoes to create pizza perfection in every bite.
