I absolutely loved this, the flavours were amazing and it was a great twist on one of my favourite foods – pizza! To make the chicken extra tasty, you can put it in the marinade you choose in the morning in the fridge and let it sit all day before cooking as you make your pizza sauce. It is also an easy enough recipe to get the kids involved with too and would be good for introducing new flavours to them.
