Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices Pepperoni slices
- 0.33 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup Sliced bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
Remove the skillet from heat and spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Top each piece with three slices of pepperoni, a few sliced black olives, and some sliced bell peppers.
Sprinkle dried Italian seasoning over the top for extra flavor.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
