Blackened Chicken Pizza - Paula Deen

The other morning, Big Mama (a fav. blog I love to read), shared a new recipe with us that she tried for dinner ~ Blackened Chicken Pizza! Being that I am ALWAYS looking for yummy recipes and the fact that this looked delicious!! I made it tonight!

It has fresh basil and spinach in it along with crispy bacon and chicken cooked with a blackened seasoning. It also calls for white wine, but I substituted apple juice for that. Big Mama said we could find the blackened seasoning in the spice area, but after going to TWO stores with no luck, I was able to find the spice recipe online! Thank you Internet!!!
