This Paleo Pizza Chicken has all the flavors of pizza- stuffed into a chicken thigh. Easy, delicious, and healthy! Gluten free, dairy free, Whole30, and tastes amazing!
Chicken thighs are one of my favorite things to make! They are packed with flavor, easy, and cheap. I’m always trying to come up with new flavors so we don’t get bored- 2 of our other favorites are the Paleo Lemon Butter Chicken and Paleo Chicken with Figs and Olives and people are loving those as much as we are!
