Our family loves pizza, and this variation is one we enjoy often, the chicken is unexpected but delicious. On hectic days, I can make it in a snap using a prepared crust. Either way, it disappears in a hurry.

My family really likes this pizza. My little sisters are young,and very picky, so they don't like the peppers and onions, but the rest of my family loves this recipe! Plus it is healthy.
