This pizza chicken recipe has all the best pizza vibes in one easy chicken dinner! It's smothered in pizza sauce and has plenty of pepperoni, tomatoes, and melty cheese.

📝 Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (14 once) jar DeLallo Pizzeria Style Pizza Sauce
  • 2 ounces DeLallo Sliced Pepperoni (or to taste)
  • 1 medium tomato (sliced)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • Fresh basil (torn/chopped, to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
  2. 2Season both sides of each piece of chicken with the garlic powder and salt & pepper.
  3. 3Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes/side.
  4. 4Transfer the chicken to a 9x13 casserole dish. Pour in the pizza sauce and spoon it evenly over/around the chicken.
  5. 5Sprinkle the mozzarella over each chicken breast.
  6. 6Top the chicken breasts with the tomato slices and pepperoni.
  7. 7Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. If your chicken breasts are on the smaller side, try 15 minutes, and very large ones may need 25 minutes.
  8. 8Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes prior to serving (this will ensure it's juicy). The chicken's temperature will continue rising a few degrees as it rests. Chicken is safe to eat at 165F.
  9. 9Sprinkle with fresh basil and enjoy!
