At first my husband said "Peaches??? On a PIZZA???" but this was truly outstanding. Using pre-cooked chicken meant it came together in a snap. And the balsamic reduction (be sure to use quality vinegar) deepened the flavor profile. We also liked the arugula salad as suggested: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/arugula-salad-50400000111972/. Will make again and again.

Ditch the tomato sauce and give pizza a makeover by topping with chicken, fresh peach slices and Gorgonzola cheese. A drizzle of tangy balsamic reduction provides the perfect balance to the sweet summer fruit.
