A variation of the beloved "white" pizza without the red sauce—but we've made it green! The herbaceous flavor of Genovese Basil Pesto makes its mark in this tasty, eye-catching creation. A great, easy-to-prepare meal ready to impress any night of the week.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons DeLallo Pesto

Preheat oven to 450˚F.

In a bowl, whisk pesto, olive oil and minced garlic to incorporate.

Shape pizza dough into a circle, or desired shape. Place on a greased baking sheet or pizza pan. Brush with pesto and garlic mixture. Bake for 5 minutes.

Remove from oven and top with mozzarella, red onion and chicken. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown, and serve topped with torn basil leaves.
