Time 1h22m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic salt
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 ounces sliced pepperoni
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic or waxed paper on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Combine bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Dip both sides of chicken in bread crumb mixture until evenly coated.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining olive oil and chicken breasts. Arrange chicken breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine tomatoes, sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, basil, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, salt and black pepper in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour sauce evenly over chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  • Cover tomato sauce with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 20 to 30 minutes.

Time 16m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups good marinara sauce
One 3.5-ounce package pepperoni slices
One 8-ounce ball mozzarella, cubed

Don't Overmix the Meat:
  • Overmixing the meat can lead to tough burgers. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
Create a Dimple in the Center:
