Best Chicken And Pepperoni Pizza Recipes

PIZZA CHICKEN BAKE - PEPPERONI PIZZA STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º. Spray a large baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Butterfly each chicken breast but do not cut all the way through. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl.
• Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the bowl and toss to combine/coat the chicken.
• Pour half of the marinara into the bottom of the baking dish and spread into a thin layer.
• Take one chicken breast and open to expose the inside of the butterfly cut.
• Place slice mozzarella inside chicken breast and then top with 5 slices pepperoni. Add a spoonful of marinara and then top with a sprinkle of grated parmesan. Close the chicken breast (you can secure with toothpicks, but that is optional. If you use toothpicks don't forget that they're there!) and lay in baking dish. Repeat with all four chicken breasts.
• Top the chicken breasts with the rest of the marinara and use a spoon to make sure the breasts are fully covered. This will make sure the chicken is super moist and doesn't dry out.
• Top the marinara with the shredded mozzarella, remaining pepperoni, and remaining grated parm. Sprinkle with more Italian seasoning if desired.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature on the chicken reaches 165F.
• Enjoy!

PEPPERONI PIZZA CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Make the chicken fingers: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pulse the pepperoni in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a shallow dish and combine with the Italian seasoning, breadcrumbs and olive oil. In a separate shallow dish, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.
• Set a rack on a baking sheet; coat the rack with cooking spray. Add the chicken to the egg mixture and toss to coat. Remove the chicken from the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, then coat with the pepperoni breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere. Place the strips on the prepared rack and coat generously with cooking spray. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: Combine the marinara sauce and mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl. Just before serving, microwave in 30-second intervals until the sauce is hot and the cheese melts. Stir to combine. Serve with the chicken fingers.
