MEXICAN CHICKEN PIZZA WITH CORNMEAL CRUST



Mexican Chicken Pizza With Cornmeal Crust image

I found this recipe on the Muir Glen website. I added the carmelized onions and it really brings out the taste of the fire roasted tomatoes. We loved it. I plan on making different pizzas with the cornmeal crust. A taco pizza would be great. A great way to use up leftover chicken.
