Chicken Cranberry Walnut Pizza with Goat Cheese

Goat cheese and cranberry sauce pair perfectly with chicken and walnuts for an exciting change to our pizza routine! 

Easy and quick to make, it's a winner on pizza night!

No matter the time of year, I'm always in the mood for pizza. It's part of our weekly routine to get pizza delivery sometime during the weekend, whether it's Friday or Saturday night depends on our schedules. I really enjoy making homemade pizza too, so sometimes I'll do that instead. I enjoy changing the toppings up - it could be just cheese or pepperoni, other times I'll make BBQ Chicken or Chicken Alfredo. It's fun to put some twists on the traditional toppings.

Recently I decided to create a new pizza that symbolized Fall. Not the usual pumpkin, sweet potato, apple flavors that I've been working with a lot lately. I wanted something different. Going with cranberry was the best decision I made for this pizza! Delicious cranberry sauce is the base, topped with shredded chicken, walnuts, crumble of goat cheese and fresh rosemary. That pizza has Fall written all over it! 

Grilled Chicken & Kale Walnut Pesto Panini

Juicy, grilled chicken and fresh kale walnut pesto meet inside a soft ciabatta bun 

to create the most mouthwatering panini!

Quite awhile ago I teased you all on social media with a delicious kale walnut pesto that I made. It was probably a good four weeks ago or so, and I had promised to share the recipe soon. So yeah, a month has passed and I'm FINALLY getting around to posting it! I'm not sure what happened and how all that time slipped by, so I hope you'll forgive me. Luckily the recipe is well worth the wait, so there's that.

This pesto is seriously the best stuff I've ever had. I love kale anyway, but when you transform it into a pesto, it just pops. Combined with Parmesan cheese, lemon, garlic and crunchy walnuts, I just really can't even describe it. I insist you try it yourself!
