Custom Search Gourmet Pizza with Chicken
Here is a gourmet chicken pizza that will stop you from having to buy gourmet boxed pizzas at the store. It is easy to put together and freeze on your own, so buying them already prepared and ready to go into the oven will be a thing of the past. This is the perfect piece of chicken pizza.
Remember that ingredient quality matters so avoid those pale, foam-like tomatoes and limp green onions and choose high quality produce, cheese, and other ingredients for your pizza. Then, enjoy a home cooked meal that is just as good as gourmet. Add a little crumbled bacon if you want, or add sautéed garlic and vegetables. This is a great departure from the average tomato based pizza.
