Chicken Pizzesan
This easy and delicious Chicken Pizzesan is like Chicken Parmesan with a pepperoni pizza twist!
Ingredients
- 4 (5 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets (20 oz total)
- ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup shredded 2% milk Mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices sandwich-style pepperoni (found in the deli, I used Margherita brand)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½” thick.
- In a shallow dish, add the seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic powder and stir to combine. Prepare the beaten egg in a separate shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast into the egg and flip around to coat. Hold up the chicken and allow any excess egg to drip off. Lay the coated chicken in the crumb mixture and flip to coat. Press the breadcrumb mixture lightly into the chicken.
- In a large skillet, add the oil and bring over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden. Flip the breasts and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side to do the same. Transfer the breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
- Top each piece of chicken with 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce and 1 tablespoon of shredded Mozzarella cheese. Cut each slice of sandwich-style pepperoni in half and arrange the two halves on top of each chicken breast to cover most of the chicken. Sprinkle each piece with an additional tablespoon of shredded Mozzarella cheese.
- Place in the pre-heated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until chicken is fully cooked through.
