Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F.
- Form pizza dough into a ball; divide in half. Lightly dust work surface with flour; roll and stretch dough into 8-inch rounds (they don’t have to be perfectly round). Transfer dough rounds to two baking sheets that are lightly sprinkled with cornmeal.
- To top pizzas, mix chicken, pesto, and green onions together in small bowl. Spoon half of mixture onto each dough round, leaving a 1/2-inch edge. Sprinkle half of cheeses over each pizza.
- Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown (bake one at a time, or adjust your oven racks so you can bake them at the same time; turn the pans once for even cooking). Serve hot, cut into wedges.
