How to Make Keto Pizza Chicken

Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 9X13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray.  

Step 2 – Lay the chicken breasts out evenly in the baking pan and top with the onions.  I will also drizzle a little olive oil on top of the chicken.

Step 3 – Then in a small bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.  

Step 4 – Pour the mixture over the chicken in the baking pan.

Step 6 – Then layer with the shredded mozzarella cheese and slices of pepperoni.  You can even sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top.

Step 7 – Bake for 5 more minutes in the oven to melt the cheese.  

Step 8 – Let the chicken set for 5-10 minutes and then serve warm.  Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*You can easily add your favorite pizza toppings to this pizza chicken recipe.  I love adding green peppers, black olives, ground sausage or hamburger as well. 

Recipe Tips

  • Prepare Chicken – Pound chicken to even thickness so it cooks evenly.
  • Marinara Sauce – Use a thick, flavorful marinara to keep it from getting watery.
  • Golden Brown Topping – Broil the last 2 minutes for extra golden cheese.
  • Chop Veggies – We like to use a small food chopper or a vegetable chopper to easily chop the veggies. This ensures that they are about the same size.

Variations Ideas

  • Veggie Pizza Chicken – Add bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, fresh basil, red onions or any of your favorite toppings to make this your own. We even have added diced pineapple for amazing flavor.
  • Spicy Flavor – Add slice jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes right before baking for an easy pizza chicken recipe with a kick of flavor!
  • Meat Lovers – Pepperoni, sausage, ground chicken, and bacon for a meat lovers dream!
  • White Pizza Version – Skip marinara and use alfredo or garlic butter.
