Healthy Chicken Pesto Pizza

I LOVE pesto and chicken pesto pizza used to be a rare treat, not usually a "dieting" item. But after some internet research I've found a delicious and healthy recipe!

Ingredients:
- Weissenbergs pizza crust mix, whole package
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts in water
-1 medium red bell pepper
-8oz cooked chicken breast, bite size pieces
-1/3 cup low fat pesto sauce
- 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees and spray a cookie or pizza sheet with cooking spray.
2. Mix up pizza crust and let set for atleast 5 minutes. In the meantime cook up your chicken and slice the red bell pepper.
3. Roll out the pizza dough into a crust big enough for 8 slices. Evenly spread the pesto sauce over the crust.
4. Spread the chicken, artichoke hearts, and bell pepper over the pesto and top with mozzarella.
5. Cook the pizza for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and crust is browned.
6. Slice into 8 servings and enjoy!

Here is the finished product and a view of a single serving:
