Fresh Basil Pesto is the star ingredient in this Chicken Pesto Pizza recipe.

Fresh Basil Pesto is the star ingredient in this Chicken Pesto Pizza recipe.If you've been with me for a while, this may look a little familiar.  I posted a Chicken Pesto Pizza recipe over two years ago, but used frozen bread dough back then.  Now, I make my own pizza crust and would like to share the dough recipe that I've finally decided to stick with.  This is also one of the first recipes in which I used my homemade Fresh Basil Pesto.

You can definitely still use frozen bread dough.  Thaw it in the microwave, roll it out and then pre-bake it for about 10 minutes on the stone.  What I didn't do then that you will see done in this recipe, is preheat the pizza stone.  This definitely makes a difference in the crispiness of the crust.

Chicken Pesto Pizza was something I tried for the first time a few years ago at a friend's house.  She and her husband make pizza at home every Friday night (I'll have to share this pizza crust recipe with her!) and sometimes come up with concoctions that can't be beat!  This one was one of them.  Both Ben and I loved it and decided to make it for ourselves a few days later.

I'm going to give you the freedom of determining the measurements of the ingredients, as it is totally up to your taste.  I can't wait to share more pizza recipes with you now that we have the perfect crust!  Tell me, what pizza combination do you love?
