2 cups of basil pesto
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 chicken breasts, cubed
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
VeganRella cheese substitute, grated (optional)
1/4 cup of cashews, ground
2 pizza bases
vegetables, chopped (optional)
A pinch of salt
A pinch of pepper

Prepare pesto (or defrost a jar of homemade pesto).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, chicken, basil, oregano and any vegetables you want to include. Cook until the chicken is nearly done and vegetables are crisp-tender which should take around 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the pizza bases onto 2 generously greased pizza pans.

Cover the bases with pesto and top with sauteed onions, garlic and chicken making sure to spread evenly. Then, sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Finish with an even layer of grated cheese substitute.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is browned.

Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and serve with ground cashews sprinkled on top.

This recipe makes enough pizza to serve 8.
