Chicken Sausage Pesto Pizza! A dairy free pizza that requires only 7 ingredients and is easy enough to throw together on a busy weeknight. It makes a filling entree, or can be cut into smaller servings for a go-to quick appetizer!
Ingredients
1 pizza crust, store bought or homemade
4-6 tablespoons dairy free pesto
8 oz spicy or mild chicken sausage (I used the sun dried tomato kind from Trader Joe's)
½ cup halved heirloom cherry tomatoes, or whatever tomatoes you have on hand
1-2 tablespoons all purpose flour (more if needed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon all purpose flour. If using a nonstick sheet pan OR pizza stone, don’t line with parchment paper, just sprinkle with the flour.
Place pizza dough on sheet pan to warm to room temp. Set aside.
Brown chicken sausage in a medium size skillet until just barely cooked through (it will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside.
Spread pizza dough as thin as you can get it, adding more flour as needed, being sure the dough doesn’t stick to the pan/parchment paper.
Assemble pizza by spreading 4-6 tablespoons dairy free pesto over the crust. Next add chicken sausage in an even layer. Then spread tomatoes evenly over the sausage. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt evenly over the pizza and 1 tablespoon olive oil on the outer edge of the crust.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
Remove from oven and let cool on pan for at least 5 minutes.
Remove from pan and cut into slices. Enjoy!
OPTIONAL: drizzle any remaining pesto over the baked pizza, or freeze for later use.
