Walkouts, Home Buying, and Spicy Chicken Pesto Pizza :)

I have always loved the quote "life is what happens when you are busy making plans." I had grand plans for putting together a pizza on Monday, but due to the unintended craziness of students staging a walk out to protest the forced resignation of my school's principal and Brian and I beginning the offer process of purchasing a home things were put on hold (will update you later).  Better late than never, here is the scoop on the pizza....

One of the bonuses of getting married (and marrying into a family with amazing cooks and bakers) is exposure to new recipes.  Brian's Uncle Garry is famous for his Friday pizza nights and his creative twists on pizza recipes.  This is my "lazy" version of one of his greatest pizzas.  With the help of my beloved Trader Joe's, I can create this fantastic pizza with only 5 ingredients!!!

Spicy Chicken Pesto Pizza
Ingredients:
1 package Trader Joe's plain pizza dough
1/2 container (approximately) of Trader Joe's pesto sauce
Feta Cheese
1/2 to 1 (depends on size) chicken breast cubed
Hot Sauce

Bring pizza dough to room temperature (this makes it easier to roll out).  Roll dough in flour to prevent sticking to pan.  Hand stretch the pizza dough as much as possible, then use pastry roller to spread dough out to size of pizza pan.  I use an AirBake pizza pan because it helps with even baking.  A pizza stone would work even better, but you may have to adjust oven temperature and time.

Spread pesto over dough.  Sprinkle with feta cheese.

Toss chicken with hot sauce and sprinkle evenly over dough.  Frank's hot sauce is ideal, but I used Louisiana hot sauce because I had it in the fridge and it was only $0.99!!

Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Brian and I paired this with an awesome table red wine ("Band Blend") we picked up from Little Vineyards in Sonoma County.
