Eat This: Baked Pizza Chicken

Garlic.  Tomato.  Cheese.  Crust.  Italian Sausage.  Onions.  Gooey-stringy.  Texture.  Taste.  Comfort.

All of the above give you a snapshot into why I love pizza.  What I don’t love about pizza: the way it makes me feel.  I can’t eat it as much anymore and I will save the rarities for grace pizza.

I still love the flavors of pizza so I want to incorporate those flavors into a more healthy dish for my family.  This was gobbled up by my men and me one evening for dinner.
