Chicken Pesto Pizza

The absolute perfect weeknight meal that comes together in minutes! Use leftover rotisserie chicken, fresh tomatoes, pesto and cheese!

I’ve been eating a little too healthy lately.

Okay, maybe it’s not “too healthy”.

But it’s zucchini noodles.

And detox soup.

So now.

I need pizza.

But hey.

I added tomatoes.

And pesto.

So it’s not that horrible for you.

Except it does have two kinds of cheeses for you.

Nope.

Couldn’t cut back on those!
