Easy Chicken Pesto Pizza

Today I want to show you another one of our favorite and interesting combinations for homemade pizza. We really liked this pizza with chicken and pesto sauce. It's special and I warmly recommend it.

You can make the pesto sauce beforehand (it keeps well in the freezer), as well as the roasted chicken breast. I always keep a few pieces in the freezer specifically for this pizza or other quick meals with cooked chicken.

Thinly slice the chicken breast and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can cook it on the grill, bake in the oven, in a pan, or even use chicken schnitzels.

It can also be prepared beforehand and kept cold or in the freezer.
