Pepperoni Chicken Recipe
Tender chicken breast topped with marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni. A delicious chicken recipe for fans of pepperoni pizza!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dry basil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 ounces pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts so they are the same thickness. Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 375°.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, basil, and garlic powder. Cook each side in the hot skillet for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to the baking dish. Spread pizza sauce over each piece, then arrange the pepperoni over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly. Top with cheese and bake another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.
- If desired, serve with hot cooked pasta.
Notes
- Feel free to add additional pizza toppings like peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and olives.
- As is, this dish doesn't have a lot of extra pasta sauce. Feel free to double the sauce if you want to have plenty for pasta.
