Pesto Chicken Supreme Pizza

Pesto is the best! It's one of my favorite sauces. Take it up a notch and turn it into a pizza. Combine it with chicken, basil, ricotta, mozzarella, and tomatoes. Now, we're talking. This comes together in less than 30 minutes. It's an ideal pizza for any weeknight or weekend.
