Chicken, Pesto and Fried Egg Pizza

A few weeks ago, my husband said he wanted to cook dinner since I had been mainly doing it as his schedule had been really busy. He fixed this Chicken, Pesto and Fried Egg Pizza...oh my yum, it was fantastic! Of course, you can adjust this to your tastes, but the way he made it was perfect! We used an arugula/spinach mix, but I think straight arugula would have been fantastic as well. Is this a little caloric? Yes. Is this tasty beyond belief and worth the calories? YES!

One of the best pizzas I've ever had!

Calories per pizza: 820

Ingredients
1 lb store bought pizza dough, at room temperature
2 Tbsp EVOO
1 1/2 cups Asiago cheese (can use Parmesan if you don't like Asiago)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, warmed
1 cup arugula
1/4 cup prepared pesto
 
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Shape the dough into 4 rounds. Brush both sides with EVOO and place on baking sheets. Sprinkle Asiago cheese over dough and bake until golden, about 13-15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat rest of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook, covered, 2-3 minutes for slightly runny.

3. Spread pesto over baked dough. Top with arugula and chicken and finish with a fried egg.
