How to Make it?

To Make the Pesto: In a food processor, combine basil leaves, garlic cloves, and pine nuts. Pulse until finely chopped. Add grated Parmesan cheese and pulse a few more times to combine.

With the processor running, slowly pour in the Nowa Olive Oil until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the Pizza: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roll pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface. Spread the homemade pesto evenly over the pizza dough. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the pesto. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza, then scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
