This Tuscan chicken pizza is loaded with all the best toppings like chicken, red onion, roasted bell peppers, and then finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It doesn’t get any better than this!
This is the kind of pizza that you would try to find a place that has one of those brick pizza ovens and they use one of those paddles to throw the dough into the fire. This recipe is restaurant worthy. It is not your average pizza. It tastes expensive, fancy, unique, and just flat out incredible.
The fact that you can make this at home in a regular oven makes me so happy. No fancy equipment needed! This would be the perfect food to make for date night or when you have friends over. They are bound to be wowed and impressed by your cooking.
The shredded chicken I used in this recipe is literally just chicken breasts cooked in the slow cooker for 3 hours. No seasoning, no sauces. I love to have a bag of plain shredded chicken in my fridge because it is so versatile. It makes for having a delicious and quick meal ready super easy and effortless.
I love to make pizza and my family loves to eat it. I’m excited to see how many different recipes I’ll have here in a few years. Until then, here are some of my other pizza recipes you need to try!
