Pesto Chicken Pizzas
This was sooooo good! We had it for dinner last night and then made it again for lunch today. My husband ate the leftovers cold right out of the fridge.

Fantastic!
Cooked this for my family (4 of us all together) and everyone adored these personal pizzas! Made my own pesto sauce, just combined garlic, fresh basil leaves, vinegar, olive oil, and some parmesan cheese in the food processor: delicious! Definitely making this again!

Pesto Pizza
My family and I made these in to pockets by opening up the pitas and stuffing them. This is a really easy and quick recipe. Even my kids liked them, they didn't even care there were green things in them.
