There is no denying that we are a PIZZA loving family! Occasionally I will splurge and count take out pizza as a cheat for the week; however, when I make pizza for dinner, I always get a whole wheat pizza crust, some all natural sauce, a little cheese, and load it with veggies on top. I was in need of something different and considering how much we love buffalo chicken dip, I thought I'd go in search of a healthy buffalo chicken recipe. After finding some recipes, I came up with this one! It was definitely a hit! I have to say, my girls are not big fans of buffalo chicken so I did pull some of the non-seasoned chicken aside for them.
