Tonya's Lean Green Pizza

by Masterbuilt
Ingredients
  • 1 cup firmly-packed fresh basil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon each dried marjoram, basil, oregano, and thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large whole wheat thin pizza crust
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat Italian shredded cheese blend
Directions
  1. Place fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, black pepper, kosher salt, extra-virgin olive oil, and cheese in a food processor or blender. Process to make a pesto. Add additional olive oil to "thin out" if needed. Set aside.
  2. Combine marjoram, dried basil, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder to make dry seasoning blend. Sprinkle chicken tenders with pepper. Coat with dry seasoning blend on both sides. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side on a 325 degree grill (medium setting).
  3. Spread pesto sauce on pizza crust. Slice chicken tenders and place on top of pesto, spreading evenly across the crust. Sprinkle entire pizza with reduced-fat cheese.
  4. Grill pizza on a stone or grill pan for 10 minutes at 300 degrees. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve.
