We stopped eating pizza outside since more than three years.But very often i crave for pizza.So i started making it at home.And trust me this homemade pizzas are more tastier..and of course healthy too.My husband is not a pizza fan.But he likes this chicken pizza.He suggested that i could have made the pizza base little more thinner.Otherwise it was perfect.Our perfect dinner that day:).I loaded the pizza base with loads of chicken and vegetables.And less cheese.This recipe is slightly adapted from raks kitchen.
I used homemade tomato sauce as the base filling..recipe of homemade tomato sauce i will be posting soon.This seems to be veryy lenghty post.But never mind.Its sooo easy only thing i just tried to post it in a step by step process..This is how i made this easy peezy fool proof :) deliciously yummyyyy pizza:).
