Teenage Mutant Chicken Pizza
My boys and I made a fun and tasty Teenage Mutant Chicken Pizza—a nod to the new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and a family-friendly dinner everyone enjoyed. With Tyson® Crispy Chicken Strips and Tyson® Chicken Nuggets on hand, assembling these pizzas was quick and simple. We made two versions: one with marinara sauce and crispy chicken strips, and another with Alfredo sauce and nuggets. Both were a hit. Cooking with the kids is one of my favorite ways to spend time together; it builds skills and creates memories that matter.
