It’s as easy as can be: partially bake chicken breasts, add pizza toppings, then finish baking until the chicken is cooked through. Easy and delicious! I always have chicken breasts in the fridge or freezer. I use them in many recipes, including bacon-wrapped chicken breast, grilled chicken breast, and chicken stir-fry. This pizza chicken is an especially good way to elevate the basic chicken breast into a delicious dish that everyone likes. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner because it’s easy to put together, and it’s ready in 40 minutes. Much like peppers pizza or spaghetti squash boats, it’s a wonderful way to enjoy pizza flavors without a starchy crust.
Recipe Card
Chicken: I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe. Olive oil cooking spray: I use extra-virgin olive oil spray. To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Pizza sauce: It’s best to use a brand with no added sugar, such as Rao’s. Cheese: I use shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese. Toppings: I like to use pepperoni and olives. You can use whatever you like!
You start by placing the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Lightly spray them with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Bake them for 15 minutes at 450°F. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Flip the chicken breasts and top them with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Return the baking dish to the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 15 more minutes. Serve immediately.

It’s also very good with salad on the side. I like to serve it with arugula salad, cucumber tomato salad, Israeli salad, or tomato salad.
