This is such a versatile pizza to make. Instead of ground chicken, you can use diced up chicken breasts; instead of shredded provolone you can use shredded mozzarella. Make as recipe states, or use what you have in the frig-it's a great weeknight meal that can be made in a jiffy. Ingredients:
1 pizza crust (store bought pizza dough) |
cornmeal or flour, for dough |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (2 turns of the pan plus a drizzle) |
