Ingredients
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs about 3 medium breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper divided
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves minced garlic about 1 tablespoon
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 24-ounce jar of your favorite pasta sauce I used tomato basil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup shredded Stella Fontinella Cheese
- 12 lices turkey pepperoni
- chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the chicken 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, sprinkling both sides.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed, and ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Once hot, add the chicken breasts, top side down, and let cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Flip and brown the other side. Remove to a plate (the chicken does not need to be cooked through).
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Sauté until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let cook until very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the pasta sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Nestle the chicken back into the sauce.
- Sprinkle the Stella Fontinella Cheese over the top of the chicken.
- Arrange the pepperoni slices on top.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the chicken registers 165 degrees F and the juices run clear (my smaller breasts were done closer to the 15-minute mark; larger ones may need longer).
- Sprinkle with fresh basil and enjoy hot.
Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight storage container for up to 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm pizza chicken in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
