CHICKEN BREAST PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl; place flour into a second bowl. Whisk egg and lemon juice together in a third bowl.
• Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture and dredge in flour; dip again in egg mixture and dredge chicken in crumb mixture until coated. Place coated chicken breasts into a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is heated through and crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese, and top each with half the pepperoni slices.
• Bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F
• Place a 3-foot piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board and lay one chicken breast in the center of the wrap
• Fold the plastic wrap over so that the chicken is covered and use the flat-side of a meat tenderizer (or a rolling pin) to bash it until it’s flattened to an inch-thick
• Repeat with the remaining breasts
• As you finish each piece, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and place it in a single layer in a 9 × 13-inch baking pan
• In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, tomato sauce, and a pinch each of salt and pepper
• Top each chicken breast evenly with the tomato sauce mixture, the mozzarella, and the pepperoni
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted
• Switch the oven to broil and cook for another 2 to 5 minutes to brown the cheese
• Serve hot
