  • In a medium bowl, mix mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses.
  • Evenly distribute 1/3 of the mozzarella and Cheddar cheese mixture on each pizza. Then top with 1/3 of the diced chicken. Return pizzas to the grill, cover and cook until cheese is bubbly and melted. Remove from grill. and place on serving plates. Top the pizzas with Guacamole, and Lime Chipotle Salsa, in desired amounts. Dollop sour cream on top and garnish with chopped cilantro.
  • In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together and reserve. Can be stored, covered, up to 1 month in a sterilized container.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.;
  • In medium bowl, mix all ingredients and set aside. Drizzle in honey, to taste, if salsa is too hot.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used mild salsa instead of lime-chipotle salsa.

I added some black beans to my pizza for extra protein.

I used whole wheat pizza crust instead of regular pizza crust. It made the pizza a little healthier.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I left it out of my pizza. It was still delicious!

This pizza is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a hard time figuring out what to do with leftover chicken, but this recipe is a lifesaver.
