Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 sheets (large) Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise to create four pieces of chicken. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture onto both sides of the chicken pieces.
Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil. Brush the center of each sheet with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place one piece of chicken in the center of each foil sheet.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each chicken piece.
Top the chicken with an even layer of diced bell pepper, sliced red onion, sliced black olives, and three pepperoni slices per packet.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings on each piece of chicken.
Fold the sides of each foil sheet up to create a packet, making sure the top and edges are sealed tightly.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and transfer the chicken pizza packets to plates for serving.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or parsley. Enjoy!
