Trying these now.I didn't have canned chicken so I shredded a boneless chicken breast, and used crescent rolls to fold over instead of cutting them out of pizza crust. Everything else was spot on. Smells delish in the oven!

This was a great recipe, as far as quick, easy, budget friendly recipes go. My husband, who tends to be slightly picky or he may have a more sophisticated palet than i do, really liked this one. I actually just made a Chicken, Bacon, Ranch version. Dice cooked chicken and toss with ranch dressing, add to pizza crust with pre-cooked bacon and cheese of your choice (I used 6 cheese italian style shredded) this came out so great too!! You could really use this basic recipe with many different combinations & it is super easy & fast to make which is a huge plus in my book. thanks Pilsbury!!

On Super Bowl Sunday I made these only instead of making them Italian style, I used boneless chicken tenders cut up and browned, buffalo sauce, onions, and Provalone cheese. Wow, they were a hit! I put out a bowl of Ranch dressing and another bowl of Blue Cheese dressing, they were gone in no time!! Everyone wanted more! I will definitely make these again!!
