Ingredients:
- 6 chicken breasts
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 mushroom, sliced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 12 slices pepperoni
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Bread crumbs
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). |
| 2 | Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. |
| 3 | In a medium mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, flour, and Italian seasoning. Mix well. |
| 4 | Pour the milk into a shallow bowl. |
| 5 | Dip each chicken breast into the milk, ensuring it’s fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Set aside. |
| 6 | Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. |
| 7 | Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and brown them on both sides until they are golden brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set them aside. |
| 8 | In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms, diced green pepper, and chopped onion. SautΓ© the vegetables until they are tender-crisp and fragrant. If needed, add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking. |
| 9 | Pour a small amount of spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a rectangular baking pan, similar to the kind you would use for lasagne. |
| 10 | Place the browned chicken breasts into the baking pan, spooning additional spaghetti sauce over the top of each breast. |
| 11 | Optionally, pour any remaining spaghetti sauce around the chicken breasts in the pan. |
| 12 | Divide the sautΓ©ed vegetables evenly among the chicken breasts, placing them on top of the sauce-coated chicken. |
| 13 | Next, lay two slices of pepperoni on each chicken breast, ensuring they are evenly distributed. |
| 14 | Finally, top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese, covering the pepperoni and vegetables. |
| 15 | Bake the assembled chicken pizzas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through. |
| 16 | Once done, remove the baking pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. |
| 17 | Serve your Pepperoni Chicken Pizza Style hot and enjoy the delicious flavors reminiscent of your favorite pizza, but with a tasty twist! |
