Chicken Pesto Pizza


1 Jar Pesto
2 large chicken breasts, cooked with lemon pepper seasoning
1 large red onion
3 large tomatoes
Mushrooms, (optional)
1 lb. shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook the chicken breast and shred or chunks. Prepare homemade pizza dough and roll out on greased cookie sheet.  Spread pesto sauce liberally, top with feta, onion, chicken, tomato, mushroom, mozzarella (in that order). Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Lift up to make sure it's cooked through to the bottom of pizza so not doughy.
