- 1 cup prepared basil pesto divided
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Optional For Topping
- 2 large fresh basil leaves torn in small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your heat source for cooking at 450 F degrees: campfire, charcoal briquettes, propane stove, camp oven or RV oven. See note #1 below.
- Spread half of the pesto mixture over the top of the pizza crust.
- Toss the other half of the pesto mixture with the shredded chicken and spread on the crust.
- Top with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake the pizza until heated through and the cheese is melted. This will take about 8-10 minutes. If your oven won't get that hot, just bake it at 350 degrees and expect the time to take a little longer.
- Top with torn basil and serve. Enjoy!
Notes

- Campfire: Lightly wrap the pizza in foil and place on campfire grill grate above hot coals.
