Here’s one of our favorites.  This really isn’t a “recipe” per se… it’s more of a “technique (and that’s stretching it too!).

This is a great recipe that is “somewhat” low fat… well, lower fat than a pepperoni pizza!  I made this as the “adult” pizza and used the second crust to make a pepperoni pizza for the kids.  This was a real winner and I will definitely be making this again. I started with cubed chicken [...]
