Green Chile Chicken Pizza

Tired of the same old pizza toppings?   Try this mouth-watering grilled pizza with garlic chicken and roasted green chile! Make this Green Chile Chicken Pizza on the grill or the oven. Garlic infused chicken and Hatch Green Chiles rock this green chili chicken pizza.

I have been craving pizza for months and months but not just any pizza but a grilled pizza. There are so many toppings and sauces for pizza that I could have a different pizza every single day.  But I was thinking maybe garlic chicken plus roasted fresh hatch green chile.   And maybe follow with mushrooms and loads of cheese to make an awesome green chile pizza.  Pizza night just got a whole lot tastier.  This grilled pizza with garlic chicken and green chiles is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

But even though I love my homemade red pizza sauce, I wanted to do this pizza a little different.  And believe it or not but sauce is not always a requirement for a great pizza.  Start this pizza off by making my homemade pizza dough but you could certainly use store bought.  And then top it with a combination of grilled garlic chicken, mushrooms, and roasted green chile.   And even though I made this pizza on the grill, they can easily be baked in the oven on a pizza stone.
