Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking dish with olive oil spray. I use a 10 X 7-inch ceramic baking dish from Sur La Table.
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, flat side up. Lightly spray them with olive oil. Sprinkle them with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Turn the chicken breasts. At this point, you can lightly spray them with more oil and sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper, but it's optional. Top the chicken evenly with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, and olives.
- Return the baking dish to the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through (its internal temperature should reach 165ºF) and the cheese is melted, about 15 more minutes. Garnish with chopped basil and serve.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the chicken 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, sprinkling both sides.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed, and ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Once hot, add the chicken breasts, top side down, and let cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Flip and brown the other side. Remove to a plate (the chicken does not need to be cooked through).
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Sauté until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let cook until very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the pasta sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Nestle the chicken back into the sauce.
- Sprinkle the Stella Fontinella Cheese over the top of the chicken.
- Arrange the pepperoni slices on top.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the chicken registers 165 degrees F and the juices run clear (my smaller breasts were done closer to the 15-minute mark; larger ones may need longer).
- Sprinkle with fresh basil and enjoy hot.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to make your pizza the best it can be. This includes high-quality chicken, vegetables, cheese, and sauce.
- Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly. Stick to a moderate amount of toppings so that the pizza cooks through properly.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: A pizza stone or baking sheet will help to create a crispy crust. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cook the pizza at a high temperature: The higher the temperature, the crispier the crust will be. Aim for a temperature of around 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Watch the pizza closely: Pizza can cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can create delicious chicken pizzas that will be the hit of your next party or family dinner. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite combination.
