GRAMMY’S CHICKEN MARGHERITA PIZZA is a long-time favorite in our house! I created this version when our kids were teenagers at home and I was looking for a healthier, lighter option for our Family Pizza Nights. This pizza gets it fresh flavor from the combination of cooked chicken, fresh sliced tomatoes, cheeses, and fresh herbs and seasonings! It is quick and simple to make, especially starting with a pre-made pizza crust. Perfect for those on-the-go nights or after a busy day. GRAMMY’S CHICKEN MARGHERITA PIZZA quickly became a favorite on the rotation back then and is still on the menu for me and my hubby’s Pizza Nights now! :). ENJOY!
