Grilled Pizza - YUM!

Grilled Chicken Pesto Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Pizza 

Ingredients are approximate. Add as much sauce, veggies, and cheese as you like.
Prepare the pizza for grilling greatness!
  • 1 package quick pizza dough (or home made/frozen dough)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup prepared pesto
  • 1 can medium artichoke hearts (or asparagus) - rinsed*
  • 1 small bottle roasted red peppers - rinsed*
  • 1 chicken breast (boneless, cooked, diced)
  • 1/4 cup onion - diced
  • 1-2 TBS olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups cheese (shredded)
  • salt/pepper to taste
Yes, our grill is very 'seasoned' :)

Directions:

Preheat gas grill to medium heat.

Saute boneless chicken, onions in olive oil.
Cool and dice chicken into bite-size pieces.
Prepare crust according to directions.
Press into a disposable pizza pan (if grilling, the bottom will get sooty).
Spread pesto on dough.
Sprinkle diced chicken evenly.
Rinse, pat dry, and slice 2 or 3 artichoke hearts and place evenly around pizza.
Rinse, pat dry, 2 or 3 roasted red peppers and place evenly around pizza.
Sprinkle cheese
Salt & Pepper

Place on center rack of grill.
Cook for 15 minutes and check (all grills heat differently). I cooked our pizza 30 minutes on medium until the cheese was melted and the crust started turning brown.
 
Rotate 1/3 turn once every 10 minutes if your grill heat is uneven.
ENJOY!

* Rinse canned artichoke hearts, asparagus, and roasted red peppers, or the pizza gets to be too salty tasting.
