Chicken Pesto Pizza

Last night I made four pizzas.

Pizza is one of the best meals to make with a group, as long as you have room in the kitchen for a few people. It is fun to give ownership of the toppings to the individual, and really makes the eater part of the cooking process. Things taste a little bit better when you have to work for it.

When I am making pizza however, I usually have trouble letting go of creative topping control. Mainly, I have a vision of what the pizzas should look like when they are done, and I don't want anyone to mess with that vision. Maybe I have control issues.

This round of pizza making featured 2 chicken pesto pizzas and 2 veggie intense marinara pizzas.

My chicken pesto pizza is really good. Actually, it's phenomenal.

I put down pesto as the sauce, spreading it over the dough. Then chopped spinach goes down with pesto marinated chicken, and artichoke hearts. A layer of mozzarella cheese covers these toppings, with roma tomatoes, feta cheese and pine nuts sprinkled on top.
