Grape, Chicken, and Walnut Pesto Pizza

Best Cheese Pizza - Pizza

One of my absolute favorite pizza recipes! We make this at home with leftover rotisserie chicken and often make two to have leftovers! The amount of pesto, walnuts, grapes, and chicken can all be played around with to taste! Use whatever amount feels right for your pizza and the size of it.
