One Pan Pizza Chicken
Win win chicken dinner! A ONE PAN meal. And it’s a LOW CARB cheesy goodness meal for the whole family to enjoy on a busy weeknight!
Guys.
I’ve been stuffing my face with Korean street food for the last 72 hours.
And it’s been amazing.
Epic amazing.
But.
I need some American food.
And all I’ve been thinking about is this.
An all-American classic pizza chicken bake.
It has all the benefits of a cheesy pizza.
Without the carbs.
So we all win here.
And since this is low carb, maybe we can add a few more pepperonis.
Because we really need to make up for the difference somehow.
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni
- ¼ cup basil leaves
Preheat oven to broil.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side; set aside.
Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, parsley and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet. Top with mozzarella and mini pepperonis.
Place into oven and cook until melted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with basil, if desired.
