I did drop the pizza sauce on the tile floor and had to replace it with pasta sauce. I ended up using too much. Anyway, I'll try it again and see if it ends up any better. bigdan1173https://www.blogger.com/profile/01094824889715870487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-69077951781025695822011-09-20T08:53:39.006-07:002011-09-20T08:53:39.006-07:00Does the chicken have to be frozen?Does the chicken have to be frozen?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458522930535651924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-70801801516960241022011-09-06T16:30:19.099-07:002011-09-06T16:30:19.099-07:00Way to go Mellisa!!! by chance do you have any rec...Way to go Mellisa!!! by chance do you have any recipes you might have lying around?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716953995151819898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-8246312999313236212011-09-06T13:28:49.811-07:002011-09-06T13:28:49.811-07:00Thanks for the great recipe!

I doubled everything except the cheese & that is because there wasn't enough room in the crock pot. Everyone loved it! It did end up with a lot of juice not sure if it was b/c of the chicken or sauce??? Either way only a few leftovers for lunch this week.<br /><br />MelissaMelissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-68628206407389547092011-09-06T12:17:55.927-07:002011-09-06T12:17:55.927-07:00The pizza chicken was a big hit at my house!!

I thought my kids would love it. My son wiped off the pizza sauce and slathered it in ketchup (go figure!). And then he admitted that he'd just eaten a snack about 90 minutes beforehand so didn't eat as much I'd likeLindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-79121285767116756642011-09-01T08:00:42.373-07:002011-09-01T08:00:42.373-07:00These look so yummy!!

I was recently diagnosed as gluten sensitive/intolerant and have felt more than a little sad about not being able to cook things I used to. I suddenly remembered that you specified GF in your recipes and am so excited to have all of these options.
