Ingredients

  • One pizza crust dough
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 3 ounces goat cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 1 chicken breast cooked and shredded or sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup ½ ounce freshly grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a small baking sheet or pan with foil. Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise, pace on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for about 40 minutes, or until they're getting shriveled and the edges are turning a little dark.

  2. Increase oven heat to 500 degrees.

  3. Roll out the pizza dough and mix goat cheese and pesto together. Spread over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Scatter the roasted tomatoes and chicken over the cheese then sprinkle the Parmesan on top.

  4. Carefully place pizza on pizza stone and cook for 8 minutes.

  5. Remove and let sit for about 3-5 minutes before slicing and serving.
