MY LATEST RECIPES
We made this Lemon Chicken Pizza yesterday for Pi Day and it was so tart and yummy. It is the perfect spring pizza, just bursting with fresh flavors and vibrant colors. The pie can be made as a easy lunch, or a fun dinner.
We started with Elise’s amazing pizza dough then layered on a lemon cream sauce. Next we sprinkled it with shredded mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced lemons, artichoke hearts, sliced lemon pepper chicken and feta cheese. After baking we topped it with some fresh arugula.
Lemon on Pizza? Is That Allowed?
I know lemon on a pizza is not typical but it is oh so good! That was my favorite part. My mouth is watering just typing about it. My kids even loved it, as long as they could pick off the arugula. 🙂 They don’t know what they are missing. There is a slice left in the fridge that no one better touch! I called it first!
