Yesterday evening it was cool and rainy, so I opened a few windows hoping the night air would cool the house faster than the air conditioner. The nights are finally hinting at fall, and my husband joked we might only have a couple more weeks of true warm weather.
I’m not ready to give up summer yet—especially grilling. I grill year-round, but there’s something about summertime grilling that just feels right. So I decided to hold on to that a little longer with a sandwich that blends two favorites: pizza and grilled chicken.
Until recently, my kids only wanted plain cheese pizza. Then out of nowhere they started asking for pepperoni, so I ran with it. I combined the familiar pepperoni-pizza flavors with grilled chicken to create a simple weeknight dinner everyone loved. The result was big on flavor but light on effort—just a few ingredients and about 30 minutes from start to finish.
For this recipe I used Tyson Fresh Chicken. I care about quality when it comes to poultry. Tyson Fresh Chicken is all natural*, with no added hormones or steroids** and is delivered fresh to grocery shelves shortly after it leaves the farm. When you’re feeding your family, that kind of quality matters.
This sandwich is an easy way to keep grilling season alive a little longer. It pairs the smoky char of grilled chicken with pizza sauce, gooey mozzarella and pepperoni, making it a kid-friendly hit that adults enjoy too. You can serve it with a salad, grilled vegetables, or classic fries for a complete meal.
