Baked Pizza Chicken Casserole
I am loving all of these amazing bakes on social media and while they look so decadent and delicious, but I know they are super unhealthy, especially ones with gooey Velveeta cheese. After seeing a pizza bake the other day, I decided there had to be a just as healthy version out there that we could all enjoy!
