FAQs

Can I Make English Muffin Pizzas in the Microwave?

You can make these English Muffin Pizzas in the microwave! First, toast the English muffins in the toaster. After cooking the chicken and spinach, assemble the pizzas per the instructions and place on a microwaveable plate in the microwave. Microwave on High in 30-40 second intervals until cheese is melted.

Can I Add Other Toppings?

Add other toppings to give these pizzas a real gourmet flair! I like artichoke hearts, pesto, balsamic reduction, or truffles.

I like to serve them with a side salad. I love using Thomas’ Light Multi-Grain English Muffins, but you can use any English muffins.
