Healthy Pizzette with Goat Cheese and Arugula Pesto

CASE: Use up pesto!

Healthy Pizzette with Goat Cheese and Arugula Pesto
1 package whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's
1 log goat cheese
1 cup arugula pesto
1/4 cup parmesan
any kind of meat in the house

Make a pizza from the dough. Spread arugula, and crumble goat cheese on pizza. Sprinkle the smallest amount of parmesan, with salt and pepper to taste.

HINT: If you're like our household, I eat vegetarian and my fiancee does not. So I always have frozen chicken handy, that I just boil in water. I know, it sounds gross, but really, it's fine b/c I just chop it up and toss it into whatever I'm making. So in this case, I had some leftover in the fridge and I just put it on top of the pizza. It's genius and furthermore, it's healthy! I don't have time to plan what meat to make him, and certainly not the energy to store fresh meat. This way, I buy a huge bag of frozen breasts and I never have to worry about it.

VERDICT: GUILTY OF BEING DELICIOUS!!! Make sure your pizza stone is hot though, ours was a little bit raw. It's hard to make dinner in half an hour!
