Forget delivery! Serve homemade Chicken Pizza instead. Chicken, sweet Italian sausage, cremini mushrooms, fontina cheese, and sliced red bell pepper are just a few of the ingredients we used to dress this dish up.

Not a review but a comment. Cooking Light, please provide nutritional data (calories) for your recipes. Sometimes, they do not seem so "light". Thanks

I really enjoyed this pizza from the January 2012 issue of Cooking Light. I made it just as the recipe said even though I wasn't at all sure that there would be enough cheese. Happily, that fear was unfounded. I will definitely make this again. The only thing I will do differently in the future is to spice the chicken more when I cook it, probably with cumin and chili powder, because the chicken it rather bland.

I agree with the previous reviewer. This was an outstanding pizza but I added sauce as well. I also skipped the chicken and added extra turkey sausage. Delish!

Really loved this chicken pizza recipe! A great combination of ingredients. I tweaked it by adding some homemade tomato sauce because I don't really believe in pizza without sauce.
