Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded chicken over the pesto sauce.
Top with mozzarella cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, and red onions.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice and enjoy!
