I had a severe craving for some pizza this past weekend. My husband has been wanting some too, but we both knew that we would feel awful afterwards. So I decided to infuse my favorite pizza flavors into some chicken instead. It turned out exactly how I had hoped.

All it took was a simple marinade, and the chicken just soaked up all that pizza flavored goodness. They cooked up beautifully on the grill, and were ready to eat in 10 minutes. I served it with some parmesan roasted potatoes and a caprese salad, to tie all those flavors together for a delicious meal!
