Chicken Parmesan Pizza with Homemade Bisquick Pizza Crust

Wednesday, February 5, 2014

I have a confession. My usual weeknight pizza is made from a box. We love the Chef Boyardee Pizza Kit. It is Chicken Legs' favorite pizza. He prefers it over any other pizza - homemade or restaurant. I didn't have a pizza kit in the pantry for pizza night last week, so I made a quick pizza crust from Bisquick. I was worried that Chicken Legs' wouldn't like it, but he declared that he liked it better than the Chef Boyardee crust. WOW! He really, really likes the Chef Boyardee, so I knew the crust was a keeper.

I fancied up the pizza crust by topping it with some frozen popcorn chicken and fresh mozzarella cheese. I added some mushrooms because Chicken Legs loves mushrooms on his pizza. The pizza was a huge hit with us. I loved the fresh mozzarella and chicken. The crust is our new standard pizza crust. I love it because it only takes a few minutes to whip up. It is great for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

    This looks awesome! And no shame in pizza kits - when I was a child, my brother and I loooooved pizza night made from a pizza kit. I haven't had one in years and now I think I might buy one at the grocery to see if it's just as delicious as I remember. =) Or I could try this fantastic recipe! =D

    My boys are getting old enough to cook for themselves. This would be a great pizza crust recipe for them to try! And of course, I'll be trying it myself! :)
