Recipe of the Week Pizza Chicken

Yields 4 Servings: 

Ingredients 

• 1 lb. chicken breast boneless, skinless
• 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups marinara sauce no salt added
• 1/4 cup low moisture mozzarella
• 12 slices turkey pepperoni uncured
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp basil
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat a 12" frying pan to medium heat with extra virgin olive oil.
2. Place oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir.
3. Clean and pat chicken breasts dry. Rub the spice mixture well into the chicken breasts with your
   hands.
4. Place chicken in the frying pan. Cook 4 minutes then flip and cook another 4 minutes. Depending
   on how thick your chicken breasts are, cooking may take a little less or slightly longer. Check the
   center by slicing a small sliver in the center to ensure it is not pink.
5. While the chicken cooks set the oven to a high broil.
6. Remove chicken from the skillet and place marinara sauce in the frying pan with crushed red
   pepper flakes and basil. Simmer on low 5 minutes.
7. Add chicken breasts to the frying pan, place 3 slices of turkey pepperoni on each chicken breast
   then cover with the cheese dividing it evenly among the chicken breasts.
8. Place the frying oven in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese over the chicken breasts.
