Few days back,I went to the hospital for regular checkup,suddenly I got very hungry.
I was looking for a food shop nearby but could not see anything else except Cafe Coffee Day.
Then I decided to go to CCD to buy something to eat.There were so many items like sandwiches, toasts, pizzas, cakes kept in the showcase of the store,among all I liked chicken toastizza.It was very yuumy and tasty.Though I do not know the exact recipe of that item,but  after eating the food, I guessed how it was made.It is nothing but a pizza flavoured crispy chicken toast.So here I am presenting my guessing recipe☺☺of Chicken Toastizza.
