Pesto Pizza!! (Guinness Optional :))


Yum Yum!! Here's a great recipe from Andree...I know, I was a bit skeptical at first (im SO the pepperoni and cheese pizza type), but I tried this and its GREAT!!! It's fairly easy and healthy as well...depending on how you top it. Quantities depend on how you like your pizza. Enjoy!!!




Andree's Pesto Pizza
Pesto (see recipe below)
Store bought pizza crust (like boboli)
2 chicken breasts, grilled and cut into chunks
mushrooms
onions (best when grilled with the chicken, then cut up, but you can saute them instead)
small tomatoes
italian blend cheese

Slather the crust with pesto,then load (and she does mean load) all ingredients except cheese. Sprinkle cheese on top (you don't need too much). Bake 425 for 15-20 minutes and enjoy!!

Pesto:
2 cups (packed) fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup macadamia nuts or pine nuts
2-4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated parmesan

Put basil, nuts and garlic in food processor and chop completely. With processor still running slowly add olive oil.
