Parmesan Chicken Pizza Toppings
I'm always looking for new, exciting chicken pizza toppings ideas. This one came to me thanks to my boyfriend's obsession with all things Chicken Parmesan. So this recipe is fairly easy as long as you buy a pre-made crust. If you have the ability and time to make homemade crust dough or fight with flattening the storebought ones, more power to ya, but I'm gonna stick with my pre-made thin crust. Top your desired crust with your favorite pasta sauce, crusted chicken, two cheeses, and fresh basil. It got 2 thumbs up from my boyfriend so I'm sure your family will respond the same to these Parmesan Chicken Pizza Toppings!

Meatless Dinner Salad with Honey BBQ Dressing
This is my take on a healthier salad version of BBQ chicken pizza. In this meatless recipe, pinto beans are a great protein swap for chicken and the tang of the honey BBQ dressing pairs nicely with the sweetness of the corn. Cilantro and goat cheese bring home the more traditional flavors of the pizza.
