{Pinned there, Done that} Spicy Chicken and Pepperjack Pizza

I came across the recipe for this Spicy Chicken and Pepperjack Pizza from My Baking Addiction while I was searching for new pizza night recipes. (pin). Hubby and I LOVED it! We made a simple pepperoni flatbread pizza for the girls this night because we thought it may be too spicy for them, but our oldest had some and thought it was pretty good.

We are definitely making this one again.

In case the recipe gets lost online, here it is...
