Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 8 ounces each
- olive oil cooking spray extra-virgin
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce no added sugar
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, part-skim; 4 ounces
- 1 ounce pepperoni 16 slices
- ¼ cup black olives sliced
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spray a heat-resistant, rimmed baking dish with olive oil spray. I use a 10 X 7-inch ceramic baking dish similar to this one.
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, flat side up. Lightly spray them with olive oil. Sprinkle them with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Flip the chicken breasts. At this point, you can lightly spray them with more oil and sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper, but it’s optional. Top the chicken evenly with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, and olives.
- Return the baking dish to the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through (its internal temperature should reach 165ºF) and the cheese is melted, about 15 more minutes. Garnish with chopped basil and serve.
Notes
- When buying chicken breasts, try to pick ones that weigh no more than 8 ounces each. So, if you buy them in trays, pick the trays that weigh 1 pound rather than those that weigh 1.5 pounds. The latter ones are too big for this recipe.
- The basil is important. It adds amazing flavor and greatly elevates this dish. I would go as far as saying that if you don't have fresh basil on hand, you shouldn't make this recipe.
- You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in a sealed container, for up to 4 days. Reheat them gently in the microwave at 50% power.
