Pizza Chicken.
Who doesn’t love pizza right?
But let’s face it, it’s not always the most healthy option and can leave you feeling a little bloated. What if I were to tell you that you can have all that oozy cheesy goodness with a rich and flavourful tomato sauce, packaged in a slightly higher protein way?!
This pizza chicken recipe has evolved over the years to now encompass the best of crispy breadcrumbed chicken, a smoky tomato sauce and a good topping of melty crispy cheese! Now just tell me that you won’t enjoy that?!
Add some veggies and you have a tasty balanced meal that will keep you full and fuelled for anything you have planned.
