Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  2. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on the greased baking sheet into a 10-12 inch circle or oval.
  3. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of ricotta cheese with 1.5 tablespoons of pesto and spread over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Sprinkle 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta spread.
  5. Distribute the shredded chicken breast and sliced peaches over the mozzarella, adding dollops of remaining ricotta for extra creaminess.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with black pepper, arugula, and torn basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
