This was pretty good and an easy and different way to use some leftover chicken. I found the tomato paste made it a bit dry, so I added a half dozen cherry tomatoes cut in half and some mushroms for moisture. I think I would add tomato sauce or pizza sauce instead of the paste next time. Makes a lot and the leftovers will be my lunch for the week.

This was really yummy and easy. Kind of like pizza pie. Next time I might use ground beef or turkey.

This was really good and totally easy! I added a few chopped black olives and a bit of crushed red pepper. Thanks for sharing!
