Cilantro Pesto Chicken Pizza
by Kristi Bell from North Little Rock, AR
Want to up the game for Friday pizza night? Then you need to try this pesto pizza. Our whole crew loved it. The pesto is fresh tasting, packed with cilantro and garlic. A nice change from traditional pizza sauce. Taco seasoning added to the chicken helps add a bold flavor. The tomatoes and sliced red onion add even more fresh flavor. Shredded Colby jack is a delicious cheese option. A nice summertime pizza.
