BBQed Chicken Pesto Pizza

So easy and tasty. This can be done as a team if both of you work. This is what my Moo and I will do to get a great meal on the table in the evening. My Moo will usually BBQ the meat before he leaves for work and it makes my job assembling the meal a lot quicker. 

Marinate 4 small chicken breasts in half a cup jarred or homemade pesto with the zest and juice from a lemon (4 hours). BBQ when ready and set aside until ready to use. You may not need all the chicken for one pizza (i used 3) ...save it for a sandwich!

For the dough, see BBQ Turned Pizza dough recipe.

Preheat oven to 425.

For the sauce, blend a classic red sauce with a dollop of pesto and spread on pizza. 

Top your pizza with sliced asparagus, orange pepper, half an onion, thinly sliced, mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, remove and then add bbq sliced pesto chicken and a sprinkle of fresh goat cheese.  Bake for another 5 minutes, remove and sprinkle with a small handful of fresh baby spinach.


Moolicious!
