Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ onion
1 8 oz tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes 15 oz
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt or can use garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
1 oz pepperonis (approximately 12-14 slices).

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a 9X13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray.
Arrange the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Thinly slice ½ onion and spread it evenly over the chicken.
In a small bowl, stir together 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce, 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic salt (or garlic powder), 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning.
Pour the mixture over the chicken in the baking pan. Then bake it for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken. Top with 1 ounce sliced pepperoni.
Bake for 5 more minutes in the oven to melt the cheese.
Let the chicken set for 5-10 minutes and then serve warm. Enjoy!

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 sauce recipe or garlic butter recipe.
