Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (about 2 pounds)
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Homemade pizza sauce
- 22 lices pepperoni
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano divided
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast in half, making 6 pieces in total. Using a meat tenderizer, slightly flatten them out, making sure they are level and even.
- Sprinkle both sides with the salt, pepper, dried basil and half the dried oregano.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet to medium. Add in the olive oil and the chicken. Sauté for a few minutes on both sides until almost cooked through. Do not overcook, as the chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Turn off the heat and spread the pizza sauce over the tops of each piece of chicken in the skillet. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add the pepperoni, then place the skillet in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can also add the toppings of your choice or even replace the pepperoni with something else like Italian sausage, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, etc.
