How to Make:

Chicken and waffles have been all the rage for quite some time now, but have you ever thought to have them on a stick?

After threading cherry tomatoes, Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese onto kebab sticks, wrap uncooked pizza dough around each item to hold everything in place. Bake skewers on a foil-lined pan in the oven (or place them on the grill!), and once the dough is cooked, top with marinara sauce and fresh basil.
