Chicken Pizza



Not much of an original title, but it is what it is. A chicken pizza. Well, actually the rest of the leftover roasted chicken and some of the spaghetti red sauce I had saved up from Christmas that was in the freezer. Just bought a can of Pillsbury pizza dough and some shredded mozzarella and I was good to go. This is another way of using up what left of the leftovers stocked up in my fridge, in which I'm happy to say has now dwiddled down to almost all of it being eaten up. W00T! I can move on to eating other things now. It was delicious and cheesy and chicken goodness.

Who knew leftovers could be so good the second time around?

serves 2-4



Chicken Pizza

2 c shredded roasted or cooked chicken
2 c spaghetti or tomato sauce
1/2 sweet onion - sliced
1-2 c shredded mozzarella
1 can Pillsbury pizza dough

Preheat your oven 400˚F

Lay out the pizza dough on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spread the sauce over the crust leaving 1-inch around the edge for the crust. Next layer the cheese, then sweet onion, chicken.

Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes until the crust as risen and browned.


Serve warm.

  1. I just need to hold off until tomorrow (Pizza Night Thursday!) Isn't it great when you take leftovers and turn it into a delicious meal like this that looks nothing like something left over? I need to stock some pizza dough for just such an opportunity . . .
