Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Spread Pesto

    Spread an even layer of pesto sauce over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken and Vegetables

    Evenly distribute the grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella cheese over the pesto sauce.

  4. 4

    Season

    Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  6. 6

    Add Fresh Greens

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and top it with fresh arugula and basil leaves.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice it into wedges and serve hot.
