I’ve been wanting to make this for a long time now. But, I love my pizza sauce so much that I never want to stray away from it when I make pizza. I came across this recipe on AllRecipes which combines marinara sauce and barbeque sauce. This was a great way to combine my love of pizza sauce and try the barbeque sauce, too. I meant to buy a red onion to go with the chicken but I completely forgot it. So, I used what we had on hand and tend to put on pizza anyway- sweet red peppers on my no-cheese half and mushrooms on Scott’s half. I really liked this sauce- the flavor of the barbeque sauce was good but wasn’t too overwhelming. Scott- who normally eats sausage, pepperoni, bacon (anything but chicken!) loved it and said he would like to try chicken again now. I will definitely make this again!
